Ernest Hemingway, Mary Hemingway, and Taylor Williams Photograph.

Rare original black and white photograph of legendary American writer Ernest Hemingway. Black and white glossy photograph of Hemingway with his wife Mary and fishing guide Taylor Williams in front of a cabin. Hemingway’s friendship with Taylor “Beartracks” Williams, the well-known Sun Valley hunting and fishing guide, dated back to their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s, after which Hemingway frequently returned to Ketchum before eventually settling there. Mary Welsh Hemingway (1908–1986) was an American journalist and writer who became Ernest Hemingway’s fourth wife in 1946 and remained his partner until his death in 1961. Having worked as a foreign correspondent during World War II, she brought professional experience and organizational skill to Hemingway’s later life, accompanying him during his final years in Cuba, Europe, and Idaho. After Hemingway’s death, Mary Welsh Hemingway played a central role in shaping his posthumous reputation by editing and overseeing the publication of several unfinished works. In near fine condition. The piece measures 8 inches by 10 inches. Accompanied by a smaller photograph of Hemingway and Williams with a bird, and another photograph of Williams in front of cabin covered in snow.
