Autograph – Ernest Hemingway and Fidel Castro printed card showing a graphic illustration of the famous meeting between Hemingway and Castro in 1960, one of a limited edition of 10 (this being number 3) signed by both Hemmingway and by Castro to base. It is dated May 20th 1960. This has been consigned by a vendor who has spent a considerable number of years in Cuba and who obtained it in Havana some years ago. He has stated to us that on obtaining the item he took it to an expert in Canada who tested the paper and verified that it was correct for the period. He also verified that the paper used was expensive and difficult to print on – particularly in Cuba where paper is hard to come by. A total of 10 cards only were produced, each signed. The event depicted was a fishing tournament which Hemingway organised and Castro won. It was one of the few times the two ever met, and the date of the tournament was five days before this print is dated. The print is based on a famous original photograph.
