Description:
Contains three sheets of images. Honeymooning couple, Phyllis and Marvin Minoff, as they watch Cuba's Carnival parade from seats along El Prado, the main street of downtown Havana separating the old colonial city from the early republican-era neighborhoods. Included in the images is the shockingly empty Sloppy Joe's Bar, which would have been full at any other time given that Carnival coincided with the traditional height of the tourist season and the end of the sugar harvest in Cuba, when many Cubans would generally have more spending cash. See also Prints 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 37, 41, 42 and 94.
