EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment in the life of Marcel Proust, the renowned French writer. Taken in 1892 by an unknown photographer, it shows Proust kneeling on the ground, holding a tennis racket, while Jeanne Ponquet (also known as Gilberte de Proust) stands on a chair in front of him. The scene is set at the tennis court of Boulevard Bineau in Neuilly. In this image, we see Proust's playful side as he engages with Ponquet. His elegant attire reflects the fashion of the time, showcasing his refined taste and attention to detail. The hat adds a touch of sophistication to his ensemble. The composition exudes a sense of humor and camaraderie between Proust and Ponquet. Their interaction hints at their close relationship during that period. It is fascinating to witness this lesser-known aspect of Proust's life outside his literary pursuits. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both the personal life and character of Marcel Proust. It reminds us that behind every great writer lies an individual who enjoys leisurely activities such as sports and companionship.
