Anuhuac, Mexico : Impresiones Selectas, 1974. Wraps. Fair. From the front cover: "¿Conoce usted la intriga socio-politica de las guerrillas en Mexico? Aqui está la historia."

This movement was active from 1967-1974 and consisted of about 300 guerrilas led by Lucio Cabañas Barrientos, whose story and ultimate death is the subject of the 2005 documentary,...

Contents brittle with waterstaining to corner but not affecting text, last several pages heavily chipped with missing sections - again, not affecting text. Two previous owner's inscriptions to ffep and markings to the title page in one of the same hands, changing the title to "El [Gran] Camarada" and adding the name "Manuel Antonio Torres" -- possibly the author claiming credit?

  • Publisher: Editorial Echevarria, Habana
  • Format: Softcover
This is a soft-cover album complete with 268 trading cards, printed in Cuba after the Cuban revolution of 1952 - 1959. Its 32 pages tell the story of the Cuban Revolution in the trading cards, each of which has an explanatory historical subtitle. The cards include illustrations of Fidel and Raul Castro, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, Faure Chaumont, Rolando Cubelas, Victor Bordon, Elroy Gutierrez Menoyo, Crescencio Perez, Faustino Perez, Luis Orlando Rodriguez, Efigenio Almejeiras, Hubert Matos, Humberto Sori Marin, Juan Almeida, Raul Chivas, and other leaders as well as many illustrations of the historical events from the start of the revolution until the overthrow of the previous... regime. Produced as an advertising campaign for the Cia. Industrial Empacadora de Dulces, S.A. where the cards came as premiums for the purchase of their products, and the album would have been supplied to the consumers for them to paste the premium cards accordingly. Volume is in wonderful condition- perhaps a touch of soiling and/or darkening to the wrapper, but the pages (wavy from the adhesive for the cards) are still white and supple-almost as new. Size: 11 3/4" x 8 1/2" Oblongmore
