Happy birthday to Ernest Hemingway, who was born this day in 1899. If he was still alive today… he’d be the second oldest person in the world. And only by a few days. The oldest, Susannah Mushatt Jones (I’m reliably informed by Wikipedia) was born on 6 July 1899, just over two weeks before him. I’d imagine he’d find that p-r-e-t-t-y peeving - living all that time only to be second! No matter, Ernest. You’d probably have written some superb stuff inbetween (can you imagine Hemingway writing during - and about - the 1980s in America?!). (By the way, this print’s available from bit.ly/ernestprint ). #Hemingway #birthday #ernesthemingway #portrait #drawing
