Description:
According to St. George's enclosed submission sheet, the images show Cuban government soldiers and stevedores loading a Soviet cargo vessel docked in Santiago's harbor, Oriente Province, with sacks of sugar bound for the Soviet Union. St. George, along with Mallin, was probably not authorized to take these pictures, and may have used a proxy photographer as he refers to the pictures as "sneak shots" and apologizes for their quality.

Description:
Scenes from the first conference on Latin American literature organized by sectors of Cuba's revolutionary government. Present are Vilma Espín, Raúl Castro's wife and president of the soon-to-be founded Federación de Mujeres Cubanas. Speakers include Miguel Angel Asturias, the Guatemalan writer who would win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967, as well as Pablo Neruda, the great Chilean poet, also a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1971. The conference was organized, in part, by Carlos Franqui and other contributing editors of Lunes, a literary and cultural supplement to the official state newspaper, Revolución. Lunes was later eliminated in 1961 for taking positions on the role and nature of cultural freedoms contrary to those espoused by government leaders, especially Fidel Castro. See also Prints 5, 23, 24, 28, 43-52 and 55.
