Description: This print appears to show Fidel Castro being interviewed by members of the international press, probably before television cameras. The two reporters seated to his immediate right have Spanish surnames (Agustín Tamaigo? and Juan Quintal?), although their name plates are hardly visible. Next to Castro on the desk is a name plate reading "Radio Rebelde," the formerly underground radio station in Cuba through which Castro's guerrillas transmitted uncensored reports from a clandestine location in the Sierra Maestra. The location of this event is not known, although it likely took place in early 1959.
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.
