The Old Man and the Sea is not only the last major piece of literary fiction by Ernest Hemingway that was published during his lifetime; it’s also one of the most famous and best-selling works of North American literature of all time. Moreover, beginning with the original publication of Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea in the September 1, 1952 edition of Life magazine (pictured below), many of the characters, scenes, and events in Hemingway’s novella has been illustrated by a wide variety of artists in a wide variety of media over the years. Stay tuned: my next few blog posts will survey a subset or sampling of these various visualizations of The Old Man and the Sea in chronological order.
