EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Cuban dictator Fulgencia Batista alongside US Army Chief of Staff Malin Craig in Washington DC in 1938. The image portrays two powerful figures from different nations coming together during a time of political alliance and military cooperation. Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar, who served as Cuba's leader from 1933 to 1944 and again from 1952 to 1959, was known for his close alignment with the United States. This photograph symbolizes the strong ties between the two countries during this period. The image showcases Batista and Craig standing outside, with a car parked nearby, emphasizing their status as leaders.
