The 50th anniversary of Alberto Korda's iconic image of Che Guevara has not gone unnoticed. This one photograph has grown a life of its own, overshadowing both the career of its maker and all other views of its subject. Having graced millions of t-shirts, it has also been adapted and reproduced in a multitude of different ways, which even formed the focus of an exihibition at London's V&A museum and resulted in this book.
