The collection contains 4 black and white photographs from pre- and post-Revolution Cuba. One photo was taken by Muñiz Photography of a 1957 Havana nightclub performance by dancers and musicians. One photo is an unsigned and undated portrait of Fidel Castro. The two remaining portraits are of Ernesto "Che" Guevara in post-Revolution Cuba. One of these photos is a 1960's print by Osvaldo Salas and the other, a 1968 print by Transworld Features Syndicate. Osvaldo Salas (1914-1992) is widely recognized as having been one of the world's great press photographers. Salas was invited to Cuba by Fidel Castro in 1959 to photograph the Revolution. He became the chief of the photo department of the newspaper Revolución. His son, Roberto, became one of Castro's personal photographers.
