Description
The bottom three rows feature images of a daytime Carnival parade near the Malecón in Old Havana; the top row (frames 8-11) shows a helicopter carrying Soviet Vice Premier Anastas Mikoyan as it prepares to land at a pad on the end of the Malecón, facing El Morro fortress in Old Havana. Crowds gather on the ground to watch the parade move toward the helicopter and photographer St. George is seen crossing the street toward Mikoyan's helicopter with an unidentified woman at his side (frames 3-6 of the fourth row). The monument in the background of these images of St. George is a memorial to the eight medical students executed by Spain on November 27, 1871. These photographs of St. George were probably taken by Jay Mallin, a fellow free-lance photographer who accompanied St. George on various assignments in Cuba from 1959-1960. Both were working forTime andLife magazines, respectively. For more images of Carnival, see Prints 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 27; for images of Mikoyan's visit, see Prints 29, 53, 55, 56, 57, 58, 61-67, 69, 70, 71, 80, 83, 92, 93, 101, 102, 106, and Contact Book VIII.
