Description: Images documenting curious Cuban on-lookers and police as they inspect damage done to a window, probably by a counterrevolutionary saboteur, who appears to have thrown a brick or other projectile through the glass. These images were most likely taken in mid-to-late October 1959 when Havana experienced the first consistent wave of counterrevolutionary violence following the resignation from his military command and subsequent arrest of Commander Huber Matos.
