Extremely scarce vintage glossy 10 x 8 group photo of Hemingway, his wife Mary, and others seated at a dinner party, signed and inscribed on the reverse in fountain pen (translated), "For Pierre, respectful homage, your boyfriend, Ernest Hemingway." Ink notation in lower left border in another hand. Reverse bears several inscriptions to "Pierre" from other dinner guests, as well as a photo stamp, "S/S Flandre, Cie Gie Transatlantique, Photos Jacques Lucas, French Line." In very good to fine condition, with some light discoloration along the lower edge of the photo's border, and light overall rippling. A stark departure from the more typically seen images of Hemingway on safari or vessel, this wonderful, one-of-a-kind photo shows the scribe immersed in a formal social setting.
