Safari - Hemingway’s First Picture Story
first edition
1954 · New York
by HEMINGWAY, ERNEST
New York: Look Magazine, 1954. First Edition and Only Printing. One of the rarest of all Ernest Hemingway A items which was unknown for many years until revealed in C. Edgar Grissom’s A Descriptive Bibliography of Ernest Hemingway published in 2011 and is listed as item A.26. This oversize booklet (10 1/2 wide by 13 inches tall) separately prints the article and photography for the January 1954 issue of Look Magazine for which Hemingway wrote an original piece. The article is 3500 hundred words plus photographs for which Hemingway wrote the captions. This special printing was the brainchild of the magazine’s publisher, Vernon C. Myers, who presented it to a small select number of people calling it a literary first “you may want to add to your library.” A little light soiling, and use to the printed wrappers. Enclosed in a custom cloth folding case. A Hemingway first edition lacking in almost all Hemingway collections. (Inventory #: 16066J)
