This poster was reproduced by OSPAAAL in Havana, Cuba, shot directly from an earlier poster made for the 30th anniversary of Che Guevara's death. It was changed by adding the OSPAAAL logo in the center panel and shortening the vertical scale. This distorted the aspect of the original images, and can only be presumed to have been done in order to fit the poster on an available size of paper. [LMC]
