Description

Death on the Serengeti: a photograph taken by Hemingway and published in Esquire

Outstanding vintage glossy 9.75 x 7 photo taken by Ernest Hemingway of a black-maned lion standing over its prey, a zebra, on the Serengeti, signed on the reverse in fountain pen, "Copy right by Ernest Hemingway, No. 3." This photograph was published in Hemingway's piece, 'a. d. in Africa,' in the April 1934 issue of Esquire. Handsomely matted and framed with glass on the verso to an overall size of 15.5 x 13.25, with a cutout on the reverse for viewing Hemingway's signature. In fine condition, with light creasing and crazing. A pouch attached to the rear of the frame contains a photocopy of the Esquire article containing the photo with 'Copyright by Ernest Hemingway' printed beneath it.
