EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a class photo from lycee Condorcet in Paris, circa 1887. Among the sea of young faces, one figure stands out - Marcel Proust, positioned in the second row on the left. The future literary giant is barely recognizable as a teenager, his potential as a writer not yet fully realized.
Marcel Proust would go on to become one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century, known for his masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time." This image offers a rare glimpse into his formative years, before he became synonymous with introspective prose and intricate storytelling.
The black and white composition adds to the historical significance of this photograph, transporting us back to late 19th-century Paris. The innocence and promise reflected in the faces of these adolescents contrast sharply with the weighty themes that Proust would later explore in his work.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the transformative power of education and youth. Marcel Proust's presence in this class photo serves as a poignant reminder that greatness can emerge from even the most unassuming beginnings.
