Creator: From the Collection: Yale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives
Contributor: From the Collection: St. George, Andrew, 1924-2001
From the Collection: Stone, David C.
Published / Created: 1960 May
Description: The top three rows and bottom two rows show images of an unidentified man smoking a cigar and sitting at his desk in an office. Frames 33-37 show the same man examining a newspaper on a podium-style desk with a large salon in the background. This appears to form part of a large newspaper office, for its size, possibly Diario de la Marina, which was housed in a large building on Prado, directly facing the Capitolio. This was the first national newspaper to be occupied by militias loyal to the government and nationalized for supporting counterrevolutionary activities in May of 1960. See also Contact Book 9.
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.
