These four beautiful vintage photos were taken by the man who took the world famous picture of Che Guevara. Alberto Korda, a staff photographer for Revolution, a Cuban newspaper, took the shot incidentally in 1961 when he was shooting a Fidel Castro speech. The photos of Che were later given away in 1967, unknowingly to Italian publisher, Feltrinelli (the man who smuggled the “Dr. Zivago” manuscript) who made a fortune selling over 2 million copies of the image worldwide immediately following Guevara’a assassination. Shown in these photos are beautiful landscapes from Cuba. Contrast and quality does not get much better than this. Photos are EX.
