Description:
Top row, far-right-corner frame, shows Oniria Gutiérrez, a 16-year-old female guerrilla, posing with a telescopic rifle belonging to Fidel Castro. According to St. George, this same rifle was "loaned" to other guerrillas during his stay in 1957 so as to give the impression that the rebels owned more than one and were well-armed. In this Print, the same rifle also appears in the hands of unknown black guerrilla soldier in the last frame of the last row, alongside a second image of Oniria Gutiérrez as she examines an unloaded hand pistol. Oniria is seen leaning out of the window and sitting beside a house that served as an army kitchen, as seen in Print 34. Beginning with frame 112 in the top row and in successive frames (marked 106, 107, 113, 115, 116) appears Crescencio Pérez, the older man with white and grey beard, who can be seen most clearly standing at the center of a group of rebels in frame 112 and drinking coffee in subsequent frame. Crescencio Pérez was the first peasant recruit to the guerrillas and the first local landowner to offer the rebels sanctuary and aid when they arrived in the Sierra Maestra in December of 1956. In 1959, Fidel Castro awarded him the rank of Commander (Comandante). In frames 115 and 116, Pérez talks to Fidel Castro as they sit along the shore of a riverbed. In frame 118, Fidel Castro speaks to a peasant scout flanked by Juan Almeida Bosque and an unidentified guerrilla (wearing a metal helmet). See also Prints 34, 47 and 48.
