Instituto del Libro - "Speech by Major Fidel Castro" (1967)

A striking publication from Cuba's Instituto del Libro (Book Institute), commemorating the fourteenth anniversary of the attack on the Moncada Garrison—the revolutionary action that launched the Cuban Revolution on July 26, 1953.

This minimalist design features bold red horizontal stripes framing a dramatic black and white photograph of Fidel Castro at the microphone. The publication is part of the "Discursos" (Speeches) series, identified by the distinctive target/crosshair logo on the back cover.

Published during the "Year of Heroic Vietnam," this speech reflects Cuba's solidarity with international revolutionary movements. The Instituto del Libro was established in 1967 as Cuba's state publishing house, making this an early example of their propaganda and political documentation efforts.

The clean, modernist graphic design exemplifies 1960s Cuban revolutionary aesthetics—functional, bold, and ideologically charged. A significant piece of Cold War-era Cuban political publishing.
