EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Marcel Proust and his friends are seen engaged in a lively tennis match on the picturesque boulevard Bineau in Paris, circa 1892. The image, an anonymous creation, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the renowned French author, best known for his monumental work "In Search of Lost Time." The scene unfolds on a sun-drenched day, with the players clad in fashionable attire of the era. Proust, wearing a crisp white shirt, stands at the net with a determined expression, while his friends, dressed in matching tennis outfits, prepare for their next move. The verdant foliage of the trees lining the boulevard provides a beautiful backdrop to the action, with their branches reaching out as if to join in the game. The photograph not only showcases the leisurely pastime of the time but also offers a glimpse into the social circles of Proust and his friends. The image serves as a testament to the elegance and sophistication of late 19th-century French society, with the players exuding an air of refinement and grace. This private collection photograph, a treasure trove of historical significance, offers a unique perspective into the life of Marcel Proust beyond the pages of his literary masterpiece. The image invites us to imagine the author not just as a writer but as a man, a friend, and a tennis enthusiast, adding depth and nuance to our understanding of this literary giant.
