Collection of 41 Cuban news service photos ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s some featuring baseball content others featuring political content and some just illustrating life during various points in time in Cuba. Clearly the most interesting of the photos is one picturing what appears to be a 1950 Cuban League all-star photo that includes Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Ray Dandridge along with Joe Black Quincy Trouppe and others. This does not appear to be a Type I photo as it is nowhere near as crisp as it should be and the remnants of handwriting is evident in the photo with most players' names written right on their images. Other photos depict Fidel Castro attendance at various sporting events individual people in groups or alone. A very interesting group of photos some quite beautiful. 41 photos total.
