Description

Fishing with Hemingway—uninscribed portrait of the esteemed writer in his element

Vintage matte-finish 4.75 x 6.75 deckle-edge photo of Ernest Hemingway standing by a river and holding a fly rod and a pair of recently caught trout, signed neatly in fountain pen. Mounted and framed to an overall size of 11 x 13. In fine condition, with a neatly trimmed right edge. An excellent signed portrait of Hemingway pictured in his element with a joyous expression—from childhood on, Hemingway was a passionate fisherman. He fished the lakes and creeks near the family’s summer home at Walloon Lake, Michigan, and his first stories and pieces of journalism were often about his favorite sport. His most famed fishing story, The Old Man and the Sea, captured the imaginations of readers around the world and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.
