[PHOTOGRAPHY]. [HEMINGWAY, Ernest (1899-1961), subject]. Pair of Original Black and White Snapshots of a Youthful Hemingway with Sports Fish Caught by Him. [Bimini?, ca. 1935]. Photos approximately 4 x 5?. Both lightly curled, one has small staple holes at upper left, the other has some discoloration in the image (most likely from the emulsion process). Fine. Both photos depict Hemingway in undershirt and trousers holding his fishing pole, standing next to a hanging Marlin (partially gutted), and two other fish (there appears to be another fish inside the Marlin?s viscera). One photo is Hemingway alone with his prizes, the other depicts Hemingway with two unidentified adult men and a little girl. A similar photo had appeared in the July 1935 issue of Esquire. Measurements: 4 x 5?.
