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.
Provenance: Purchased from Andrew St. George in 1969 and from David C. Stone in 1970. Gift of Adolfas Mekas, 2010. Transferred from the Latin American Collection Curator, 2016.
