Description: Close-up images of Fidel Castro, a peasant boy (frame 31, row 1), a young guerrilla (who appears in profile, frame 30, row 1), an unidentified guerrilla with a streaked (white or blonde) beard, taken in what appears to be La Plata, guerrilla headquarters in the Sierra Maestra, probably during the last weeks of 1958. Bottom two rows of images depict Fidel Castro greeting Herbert Matthews of the New York Times and his wife Nancie. Standing behind Fidel in frames 33-36 of the second to last row is Celia Sánchez. In the final row, Celia Sánchez can be seen standing next to Nancie (the shorter, older woman wearing glasses). These figures are flanked by a large number of unidentified guerrillas. Journalists also appear documenting the encounter. See also Prints 30, 31 and 32.
