Chilling vintage sepia matte-finish 11 x 9 photo of a lion standing over its kill, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Lynn Bogue Hunt from his friend, Ernest Hemingway.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.5 x 15.5. A couple scattered light creases, some light rippling to top edge, and a bit of light silvering to darker areas of image, otherwise fine condition.
An incredible image of a lion standing over a fallen zebra, taken on safari in Tanganyika. Excursions such as this inspired Hemingway to write such works as Green Hills of Africa, True at First Light, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. This stunningly signed iconic image is perfect Hemingway, capturing the natural awe and savageness he witnessed on safari on the Serengeti Plain, and has all of the elements of a perfect piece!
