Description: Top frames show part of a banner hanging from the balcony of a building that demands an end to U.S. aggression against Cuba, in particular, the ending of all bombings and air raids. At the time, it was increasingly common for small, unidentified aircraft to run sabotage and bombing raids from bases in Florida into Cuban territory. Beginning in the late fall of 1959, targeted sites included sugar mills and other facilities within the province of Havana. The second set of frames shows betters lined up at the race track in Havana's Casino Deportivo. The last three rows of frames depict foreign tourists gambling at a casino, probably located in the Hotel Nacional. See also Prints 51, 52, 53, 55, 56 and 61.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
