Strange that one of the most iconic picture of the 20th century does not call for comments.... Ah, if it were "Moonrise, Hernandez" from AA, I guess it would be much different.

Kinda sad...
 
If it is the original of the high contrast iconic image then it is one of the most important images of the 20th century.
 
Funny.....JUST a few days ago i heard a, present day, interview with the woman that was his (the photographer's) assistant.
FWIW.....i am reminded i need a new (OK, bigger size) Che T-Shirt.

Alberto Korda rather heavily cropped the image to get this close portrait of Che Guevarra. This is certainly the most reproduced pictures in all time.
