BOHEMIA, "Edicion de la Libertad". All 3 Publications Bound in One Book. Scarce Presentation Copy, 1959. Compelling Reading and Imagery. Three original magazines, two printed in January and one in February of 1959 bound in one hard cover volume with the first issue having a near heroic illustrated image of Fidel Castro on the cover. This volume is a presentation copy, blind embossed with title, scroll work and the name of the recipient on a leather board. Galvanizing images of crowds, marches, Cuban leaders and in places, horrific content of a country in turmoil and revolution with absolutely no filtering of photos with regards to violent/graphic content including firing squads and assassinations. Also of note are the number of US advertisers including Coca-Cola, Paper-Mate, Westinghouse, Tide, Goodrich, Johnson & Johnson and Camel, many tailored specifically in content to Cuba.
All three magazines bound are complete and in overall fine condition. Total pages 566. The covers are in good condition, a bit loose but intact. Obviously the paper printed on is not the quality seen in the states, so overall toning is present. But the pages turn easily but with care. Text in Spanish. Estimated Value $500 - UP
