19528678Chicago. Life Magazine. August 1952. Galley Proofs are imprinted in black ink upon 9.0" x 30.0" sheets. A stamp in blue ink stating "ADVANCE GALLEY PROOFS" appears at top of title sheet. Further blue stamp stating "Advance Galley Proofs For Your Personal Reading Only. LIFE Publication Date Sept.1". Accompanying letter is typed upon Life advertising department letterhead sheet 7.0" x 11.0" and is dated August 19 1952. Signed in ink by C.W. Hanson. Original advance Galley Proofs prepared by Life Magazine for its special publication of the novel in its September 1 1952 issue. The Life publication was the 1st appearance of Hemingway's novel preceeding the Scribners book publication of September 8 1952. The September 1 issue of Life was solely devoted to the novel which was accompanied by photographs by Alfred Eisenstadt. The issue sold in excess of five million copies. A letter from Life Magazine Chicago Advertising Manager C.W. Hanson to an unidentified recipient accompanies these proofs and explains in detail the Magazine's motivation for publication of Hemingway's work. e.g. "Our editors were so impressed with this newest bit of Hemingway- actually they think its "one of the greatest stories of our time"- that they have decided to publish all 30000 words of it in the September 1st issue of LIFE." . "Here's a galley proof of The Old Man of the Sea so that you can come on the story with the same sense of discovery of interest and greatness that the editors recognize. I hope you enjoy it." The letter contains further interesting comments. Due to the nature and quality of paper in galley production these tri-folded sheets are extremely brittle and present chipping to top and side edges- not intruding upon text. Several short starts at folds may be seen. The title page sheet has severely split at both folds and has been reattached with adhesive tape- not affecting title text. This same condition is more dramatically evidenced on the final sheet with a hole intruding upon the middle of 4 lines of text. Life Magazine. unknown books

150090Rare original typed letter from guide Taylor Williams recollecting about hunting antelope with Ernest Hemingway. One page single typed sheet. The letter reads in full "Hemingway Box by Taylor Williams. Our party consisting of Hemingway Lloyd Arnold Ellis Chapin our packer and myself had ridden into the first fringe of foothills above the plains along the Pahsimoroi River in quest of a trophy antelope having passed up several in the lower country that were not to our liking. Chapin was riding off to the side where he could get a view from behind a butte when he shouted to us that he had just jumped a small band of antelope. With that Hemingway spurred his horse and rode forward to get a better view as they came out from behind the rise. On seeing a sizable buck which was by this time in full stride he dismounted and ran forward for a better view and shot. He was using my Model 70 Winchester 257 with open sights. He struck the buck high in the shoulders and he went down at the first shot. We stepped off the distance 220 full steps. I think this was one of the most spectacular shots that I can remember in my experience as a guide." The writer was Hemingway’s great friend Taylor “Beartracks†Williams the well-known Sun Valley hunting and fishing guide. Hemingway’s friendship with Williams dated back to their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s after which Hemingway frequently returned to Ketchum before eventually settling there. Ernest Hemingway wrote portions of For Whom the Bell Tolls 1940 while staying in Ketchum Idaho where the landscape and relative isolation supported sustained work on the novel. It is even illustrated on the dust jacket with a photograph of him at his typewriter taken there. In near fine condition with creasing and mail folds. Accompanied by two black and white glossy photographs of Hemingway with an antelope. The first is Hemingway smiling in a cowboy hat standing beside a horse with an antelope on its back and holding its horn with his left hand. The second is Hemingway and his third wife Martha Gellhorn smiling sitting on a hill together and holding the horns of an antelope. Both in near fine condition with light creasing. The pieces measure 8.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Together with a folded leaflet by Lloyd R. Arnold "High on the Wild with Hemingway" about For Whom the Bell Tolls. In fine condition. Ernest Hemingway 1899–1961 was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century whose concise prose style and exploration of universal themes reshaped modern literature. Known for his works such as The Old Man and the Sea A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls Hemingway developed a narrative voice that captured the complexities of human struggle and resilience with stark simplicity. His experiences as a journalist and participant in both World Wars deeply informed his writing lending authenticity to his depictions of courage loss and alienation. While his personal life marked by adventure and tragedy often overshadowed his literary contributions his stylistic innovations and engagement with existential themes solidified his status as a transformative figure in American letters. By pushing the boundaries of narrative form and emphasizing the power of understatement Hemingway left an enduring legacy on both literature and the cultural understanding of the human condition. unknown
