Alberto Córdoba made an iconic photograph of Ernesto Che Guevara

64

years ago

05 March 1960,

Alberto Cadena made an iconic photograph of Ernesto Che Guevara. The day before he was at the funeral of the sailors killed in the explosion of a boat in the port of Havana. The photographer followed the act for Revolution newspaper. The image was unpublished until Che died and became the martyr of the revolution. Irish artist Jim Fritzpatrick edited the photograph and turned it into an image. Although the abuse of this symbol has often deformed content, it remains one of the most well-known photographs in history.
