Lot Description
HEMINGWAY, Ernest (1899-1961). The Spanish Earth. Cleveland: J.B. Savage Company, 1938.
12mo. Illustrations by Frederick K. Russell. Original pictorial tan cloth; original glassine (some tears and minor losses); quarter morocco folding case.
FIRST LIMITED EDITION, number 512 of 1,000 copies. FIRST ISSUE, one of fewer than 100 copies with pictorial endpapers showing the F.A.I. banner. Hemingway, who worked as a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and who published the book to support Loyalists during that conflict, requested that the endpapers depicting the banner of the Federacion Anarquista Iberica, be changed: to use the image was to potentially place him in danger while he was working in Spain. Hanneman A15a.
