The lot consists of:
1. A period silver gelatin photograph showing Cienfuegos dressed in in guerilla fatigues and trademark hat, produced by St. Naranjo, a Havana-based photographic studio specializing in pro-Cuban Revolution propaganda. Stamped "St. Naranjo / Reina 317 / Telf. W-9000" verso. Expected wear including some silver haloing around the edges. Isolated stains verso. Else very good to near fine. 4" x 6."
