Wonderful collection of twenty-nine unsigned original candid photos, circa late 1940s, ranging in size from 2 x 2 to 5 x 4, portraying Hemingway’s life in Cuba. The author is easily visible in thirteen of the images, which show him with friends, hunting, on his famous boat the Pilar, and relaxing with his shirt off; other photos depict his friends, a kudu antelope hunting trophy, a few areas of his Finca Vigia home, and his beloved cats and kittens. Also includes an invitation to an event honoring the late Hemingway’s 64th birthday. In overall fine condition. These were originally received by a doctor in Havana from Hemingway’s personal secretary as a token of appreciation after performing lifesaving surgery. A unique compilation of original candids, these images beautifully capture the essence of Hemingway’s Cuban existence.
