UPI Magazine Services

ews photograph from the period showing Ernesto “Che” Guevara during a visit to the workshops of the National Railways “José Ramírez Casamayor,” surrounded by workers and staff of the center. The image has strong documentary value as it shows the Che in direct contact with workers and productive facilities, in a scene highly representative of his intense public activity during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. The reverse bears the seal of UPI Magazine Services, a testament to its circulation within international photojournalism. The large format of the copy and the clearly recognizable presence of the Che at the center of the composition increase its appeal for a collection dedicated to the Cuban Revolution, 20th-century history and press photography.
