Beautiful photo of what is likely a Cuban factory team from the India Chocolates company. The players are identified (including their nicknames) in typewritten copy on the reverse that also identifies the team and seasons. The detailed sepia-toned photo depicts the team and what is likely coaches or managers holding an India Chocolates pennant. Each player also holds what appears to be a package of India Chocolate. As is the case with most photos and paper memorabilia from Cuba this exhibits considerable wear some creasing at the bottom moderate edge tearing and some paper loss at the corners. The photo itself however is of outstanding quality with excellent clarity and contrast. Under magnification lettering on the chocolate packages and team patches (which read "INDIA") can be read and the detail in the players' uniforms is outstanding. A beautiful photo of an early Cuban amateur team.
