Photographic portrait insert of Fidel CastroEntry/Object ID
2025.1.104Description
A small black-and-white photographic print, portrait/vertical format, depicting Fidel Castro against a dark indistinct background, in military-style dress. The print is small, with a glossy reflective surface, and shows curling, surface marks, and edge damage at the upper right. Its scale, format, and wear suggest it was originally mounted as the photographic insert of a personal wearable or carried object — such as a locket, pendant, badge, or commemorative token — from which it has become detached; it now survives as a loose component rather than a complete object.Use

Notes
The object documents not only the visual cult surrounding revolutionary figures but the intimate, wearable forms that political memory took in everyday Cuban life.Created By
