René Burri: An original b/w press or propaganda photograph of Argentinian born revolutionary leader Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (1928–1967) during his stay in Cuba in the early 1960s. Varnished surface. Back stamped 'Agencia de Informacion Nacional - Cuba'. Furthermore inscribed 'René Burri' in red. Visible size 15×21 cm. Frame size 24×30 cm.
Not infrequently older photographs turn discoloured in the tropical belt due to the influence of long term extreme humidity. People sometimes seek to counteract this phenomenon by varnishing the surfaces of the photographs, either initially or later. Part of a collection of approx. 200 René Burri press or propaganda photographs, which were acquired in Cuba in the late 1990s.
This is an original b/w press photograph from the mid 1960s. Varnished surface, this presumably of a later date. Front and back have yellowed. Back with discolouration and two repairs.
