This icon of the 20th century was created on the occasion of a commemorative event at which Fidel Castro gave an impassioned speech to thousands present. On the previous day, 95 people had died when the freighter "La Coubre", carrying a shipment of Belgian ammunition, exploded; the CIA was suspected of sabotage. Korda photographed the celebrities on the rostrum for the magazine "Revolución", when Guevara briefly stepped forward from the background two shots were achieved. The incomparable circulation of this portrait, a detail from a landscape format, only began after the revolutionary's death in the form of posters; vintage prints in the narrow sense are not available. All prints made directly from the negative during Korda's lifetime are rare collector's items today.
