Title

Ernest Hemingway at cafe with friends in Pamplona, Spain, Summer of 1926

Description

In this photo, we see, from the left: Gerald Murphy, Sara Murphy, Pauline Pfeiffer, Ernest Hemingway, and Elizabeth Hadley Richardson.

This photo, which is located in the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, Massachusetts was taken one month before the separation of Ernest and his wife Hadley, a few months after Hadley had learned of Ernest's affair with their friend Pauline Pfeiffer, pictured to the left of Hemingway, and three months before the publication of his first novel, The Sun Also Rises.

Hemingway married Pauline in May 1927. This photo may come off as something as simple as a moment in time that was captured through the lens of a camera, however, there is always so much more to a photograph than what we see from the visual itself.

There are stories behind photographs that we will never be made aware of, some stories which those in the photograph aren't even aware of themselves. What could have been going through the minds of Pauline, Hemingway, and Hadley during the time this photograph was taken?
