- Images of various unidentified barbudos and security forces assembled to greet Fidel Castro upon his triumphant return from a highly successful four-week visit to the United States (May 17, 1959). Efigenio Ameijeiras stands in full dress uniform as Captain of the National Revolutionary Police at the center of frame 8. Behind Ameijeiras, it is clear that the balcony of the airport's terminal has been decorated with signs reading "Bienvenido FIDEL." Row 6 of the print features close-up images of Fidel and Camilo Cienfuegos smiling and waving to crowds gathered to hear Fidel's report to the nation on his visit to the United States at the foot of the monument to José Martí in Havana's Plaza Cívica. See also Prints 24, 25, 27, 28, and 29.
