Che Guevara: Signed and Inscribed Silver Gelatin Print (1928-1967) Argentine Marxist revolutionary, a major figure of the Cuban Revolution as well as being an author, physician, and military leader. His image has become a counter-cultural symbol of rebellion in popular culture and can be found silk-screened on tens of thousands of t-shirts. Offered is a remarkable vintage original silver nitrate B&W profile portrait print of Guevara that is extraordinary. "Te abrazo con todo fervor revolucionario. Patria O Muerte, Che" ("I embrace you with all my revolutionary fervor, Motherland or Death")
Inscription and signature are executed in steel point fountain pen ink and are in the darkened upper left corner area. Nevertheless, the black ink is very legible and contrasts to a surprising degree against the dark sepia image and certainly visible when viewed closely. The photo, professionally mounted on card stock, is in excellent condition with only toning to edges. Estimated Value $2,800 - UP
