Hemingway, Ernest. Exceptional Photograph Inscribed and Signed, "To Annie with love Ernest," n.p., n.d.(summer of 1959), 7 x 9½ in. Hemingway was a guest of weathy American expatriates Annie and Bill Davis at "La Consula," an estate near Malaga, Spain. He had been sent by LIFE magazine to write an article on the rivalry between Antonio Ordoñez and Luís Miguel Dominguin, two of Spain's great matadors. LIFE published the article as "The Dangerous Summer" in three installments during summer of 1960; it was the last of his works that Hemingway saw published. The photo is also signed by "Cano," who was Hemingway's photographer in Spain. The photo is laid to board and there are small touch-ups on the top portion, not affecting the image of Hemingway or his writing. Very good and a great image for display.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,600.
