Ernest Hemingway Signed Photo
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Early and rare Ernest Hemingway 7.25'' x 9.25'' signed photo of the author at 27 years-old. Photo, taken by photographer Helen Breaker, is signed and inscribed in white ink: ''To Whitney Darrow, with very best wishes, Ernest Hemingway''. Under his signature, Hemingway adds, ''This picture slightly cock-eyed.'' This well-known image was captured by Breaker in Paris in 1928, with the pose accompanying a short story in a May 1929 edition of ''Scribner Magazine.'' Darrow, the original recipient, was Scribner's head of publicity and a man who had a famously adversarial relationship with the author, failing to see the literary merit of Hemingway's works. With minor surface wear and a small chip to top right corner. Inscription is light, though clear and legible. Very good condition.
