Photo of Che Guevara taken by Alberto Korda, March 1960

Cuban photographer Alberto "Korda" Gutierrez' (1928-2001) photograph of Che Guevara, at the memorial service for the victims of the 5 March 1960 explosion of the Belgian arms transport "La Coubre" which exploded in Havana harbour, killing 136 people.

At the time, Korda was a staff photographer for the Cuban newspaper "Revolution," and used a Leica camera to photograph two frames of the subject, who appeared briefly on stage during a lengthy speech by Fidel Castro, then departed.

The original photograph is a 6x10 inch (15.2 x 25.4 cm) silver-gelatin print, and entitled Guerrillero heroico (Heroic Guerrilla).

Korda copyrighted this image. Fair use assertion for the Wikipedia Che Guevara (photo) article. Note that fair use is context dependant before using elsewhere. See Talk:Che Guevara (photo) for further discussion.

This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic photograph, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the photographer who took the photograph or the agency employing the photographer. It is believed that the use of this photograph

• to illustrate the event in question where:
• The photograph depicts a non-reproducible historic event, and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
• The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
• on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
