- Description
- Top three rows show unidentified foreign mother feeding her little girl in what appears to be a North American kitchen. Second row from the bottom features images of Fidel Castro delivering a nighttime address. Behind him, to his left, stands Crescencio Pérez (white beard, arms crossed), 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. 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. Final row of images shows Fidel Castro flanked by President Osvaldo Dorticós and the Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba, Enrique Pérez Serantes, at a formal dinner in an outdoor ceremonial setting. Behind them stand a large number of uniformed soldiers, Cuban marines and waiters. See also Prints 12, 13 and 14.
