Naranjo Studios - Che Portrait Photograph, Inscribed and Dated by Che Guevara, 1962

An exceptional vintage gelatin silver print photograph, signed and dedicated by Che Guevara, 1962, This studio portrait of Che by Studio Naranjo, Havana, is the finest to come to market (in fact, only 2 or 3 photographs, signed by Che, have ever been offered for sale). The verso carries two cut and glued papers: ‘Cronología’ and ‘Ministerio de Industrias’. Che’s writing, in praise of Fidel Castro and the Revolution, is strong and legible. Some damage to the photographic paper, on two edges, but this does not impact the image and dedication one iota. It’s an incredible piece, from the collection of a septuagenarian philatelist in Havana. Josefina’s identity has been lost in the mists of time. Dedication and translation: Josefina: Nada ha cambiado mis ideales hoy son más profundos, cada dia Hoy creo mas en Fidel y esta Revolución Che Noviembre 20 del 1962 ************************** Josefina: Nothing has changed my ideals Today they are deeper, every day Today I believe more in Fidel and this Revolution Che November 20, 1962
