Description
Top frames show Fidel Castro, his son, Fidel Castro Díaz Balart, (in white T-shirt) and an unidentified boy with Celia Sánchez at her home in el Vedado. Images depict three fatigue-dressed bodyguards sitting on a couch, as well as a white-haired man in a business suit whose back is to the camera. There are two images taken from the balcony that show a boy and then a woman who are attempting to photograph the boys as they play with a radio on the balcony of the house. Middle and bottom frames show part of El Prado in downtown Havana, as well as a sign painted on a wall that has been hand-mounted in a park. The sign reads "¡Viva el primer aniversario de la Revolución Cubana! Partido Socialista Popular (Long live the first anniversary of the Cuban Revolution! Popular Socialist Party)." Bottom frames show a Cuban-Chinese taxi driver standing by his car in front of the headquarters of the Alianza Nueva Democracia China. See also Prints 58 and 64.
