Papa loved his shotguns, even as a youth
“John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Boston.” Date: ca. 1913. Accession Number: EH783N, Scanned original 2.75X3.5 nitrate negative by SL on DAMS2B.
Description: A young Ernest Hemingway standing in a field with a shotgun in his left hand and a dead bird in his right hand.
The shotgun seems a classic Winchester 1887/1901 lever-action model. Designed by John Moses Browning, just fewer than 28,000 were manufactured and production ended around 1920, replaced by the much more popular pump-action Models 97 and 12, also Browning designs.
