Folio. Entire issue, June, 1934, in original Sam Berman wraps, light to moderate general wear and soiling, fine creasing noted along some edges. Includes a photograph of the author in hunting attire holding a rifle, kneeling beside a downed lion. In this piece, Hemingwy offers negative opinion about shootists, as Africans call them, or tourists and would-be big game hunters who come to Africa to hunt lions from the safety of a moving car, or an enclosed cage that offers maximum protection. From the final paragraph, "You will be more of a sportsman to come back from Africa without a lion than to shoot one from the protection of a motor car, or from a blind at night when the lion is blinded by a light and cannot see his assailant." Issue includes other non-fiction from F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Scarce.. Magazine. Book Condition: Good.
