I think there should be some rules about how this trope applies to Historical Fiction. It shouldn't just be "every young famous person in an historical fiction", because, hoo-boy, that would be endless—every time there's a work set in a royal or powerful family, we'd have two to twenty examples. Perhaps we should limit it to "famous people other than ones you'd expect to see there"? e.g. If a work is about Julius Caesar, then it doesn't qualify if you see, say, a young Octavius (Augustus) or a young Livia—but if you see young King Herod, or young Virgil, that would qualify. Does that seem reasonable?

Just A Face And A Caption on that the page photo. I'm guessing that's supposed to be a young Che Guevara? Where's it from?
