CASTRO, FIDEL] KORDA, ALBERTO DIAZ GUTIERREZ (1928-2001). [Fidel Castro and Alicia Alonso in Santiago de Cuba]. Two images... . Two images on a single sheet, with Korda's stamp, the verso signed and dated by his daughter, 2003. Signed at the foot of the sheet by both Fidel Castro (as Fidel Castro Ruiz) and Alicia Alonso, sheet 20 x 16 inches (505 x 405 mm), the individual images 7 x 10 1/2 (180 x 270 mm). Very slight handling creases to the sheet. This pair of photographs was taken during a visit to a restaurant in 'Las Piedras' in the province of Santiago (East Cuba) by Castro and Alonso, and shows them playing with spoons and forks. Alicia Alonso is a prima ballerina assoluta and choreographer for the Ballet de Cuba. This Korda image is very rare, and to have it signed by Castro and Alonso is exceptional. C
