About this Item

Entire issue, July 14, 1961, in original wraps with portrait of the subject, light general wear, occasional fine creasing noted at cover, still overall clean and bright, with mailing label. The elusive, highly collectible Hemingway memorial issue, with a preface by LIFE, a photographic essay, including explanatory text, with 10 pages of pictures spanning Hemingway's adult life, by Hemingway's friend Robert Capa, who would work with Hemingway multiple times for Life Magazine, and Larry Burrows, Francis Miller, George Leavens, John Bryson, and Loomis Dean, and the 2-page MacLeish essay, His Mirror Was Danger. From the editor's preface, "For us at Life, the death of Ernest Hemingway is a special loss, for he was a cherished colleague of ours. From the time in 1937 when he wrote captions for one of our picture stories on the Spanish War to last summer, when we published parts of his latest work (The Dangerous Summer), he was both a contributor to Life and a good friend." See Hanneman H1274. Surprisingly scarce.
