There is a Wiki on the image that tells the entire story. The top image on the right is what the full frame looks like, which is what I have. It was later cropped down to just show Che.

If I still lived in the USA I would be collecting a lot more art and iconic photos from Cuba. I'm fascinated with it. It's just not practical now that I live in Asia. I thought maybe I could replace Cuba with Myanmar (Burma) but it just doesn't resonate with me like Cuba does. I was hooked on Cuba the first time I went there and can't seem to shake it. Looking forward to going back.
