“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Spectacular image of a male lion, in profile, with one paw placed upon a zebra it has just killed. Vintage photograph is made all the more spectacular as signed by Ernest Hemingway, famously known for his African safaris. Sepia matte-finish photo measures 11'' x 9'', signed and inscribed in fountain pen, ''To Lynn Bogue Hunt from his friend / Ernest Hemingway.'' Taken while on safari in Tanganyika, Hemingway here inscribes the awe-inspiring photograph to Hunt, one of the most famous sporting artists of the 20th century. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.5'' x 15.5''. Scattered light creasing, light rippling to top edge, and mild silvering to darker areas of image, otherwise fine condition. A fantastic, one-of-a-kind piece.
