Che Guevara (14 May 1928 – 9 October 1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, politician and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. This photograph of Guevara, titled Guerrillero Heroico, was taken by Alberto Korda in 1960 at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion in Havana, Cuba.Photograph credit: Alberto Korda; restored by Adam Cuerden
