Abstract:

Members of the 26th of July Movement enjoying a meal in a backroom of the Havana Hilton, where Fidel Castro and his entourage installed themselves for several months after the initial triumph of revolutionary forces against Batista. Guerrillas and their families often ate and enjoyed the facilities at the hotel for free, signing only their names and ensuring that Celia Sánchez would cover the costs of their stay as the chief executor of remaining cash funds from wartime contributions to the guerrillas. Frames 5 and 6 show Ernest “Che” Guevara surrounded by a crowd and talking to a uniformed official and a man in a cowboy hat in the lobby of the Hilton. External view of the Hilton’s driveway as Fidel arrives at the entrance appear in Print 40, frames 30 and 31; other views of Fidel and members of his party having dinner appear in Print 41.
