HEMINGWAY, Ernest.
Inscribed photographic portrait of Hemingway holding a black Persian kitten.
An unusually intimate image in uncommonly large format. With Hemingway's magnificent presentation inscription on the white portion of his shirt, "To Alfred Rice from his friend, client and admirer Ernest Hemingway 31/3/50". Rice was a lawyer based in New York; he specialized in copyright law and handled all of Hemingway's literary, radio, television and motion picture properties. He began representing Hemingway in 1944, often travelling to Cuba to meet with his client.
13 × 11 ins, original monochrome print from the negative. With the photographer's stamp on the verso. Glazed and framed. Fine.
