Description:
Top images show Fidel Castro delivering a nighttime address. Behind him, to his left, stands Crescencio Pérez, a peasant made famous for having first helped Fidel and his surviving group of guerrillas after their fateful landing of the Granma on the southern shore of Oriente in December, 1956. Pérez's long line of formal and informal kin relations proved invaluable to the stabilization and long-term successful legitimization of Fidel's guerrillas among the highland populations of the Sierra Maestra. After the war, Fidel awarded Pérez with a commission in the Revolutionary Armed Forces. Succeeding images depict President Osvaldo Dorticós delivering a televised speech to the nation from his office at the Presidential Palace; Minister of Foreign Relations Raúl Roa sits to his left and a bust of José Martí is behind him. See also Prints 13 and 15.

Behind him, to his left, stands Crescencio Pérez, a peasant made famous for having first helped Fidel and his surviving group of guerrillas after their fateful landing of the Granma on the southern shore of Oriente in December of 1956.

Description:
Top three rows show the toll booths at the entrance to the national highway heading east out of Havana, today known as Vía Blanca. No one appears to be manning the toll booths and someone has placed a sign on one of them that reads: "FIDEL NUESTRA HAMBRE ES DE 4 MESES." The second to last row of images relates to those in Prints 20 and 21: they show men standing in line outside of what might be a store or food distribution center; frame 13 of this row shows a man with a hook in his left hand that descends from a pipe above. He appears to be weighing something. Bottom row of pictures shows a fashion show taking place in the patio of a large hotel, possibly the Havana Hilton. The models are using the countertop of the bar as a catwalk. See also Prints 19, 20 and 21.
