EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the final moments of one of France's most celebrated literary figures, Marcel Proust. Taken in 1922, it immortalizes the renowned author on his deathbed. The image is a testament to the power and vulnerability of human existence. Marcel Proust, known for his magnum opus "In Search of Lost Time" lies peacefully on his bed, surrounded by an atmosphere that exudes both solemnity and serenity. His face bears traces of a life well-lived; lines etched with wisdom and experience are softened by the gentle light that bathes him. The photograph offers a glimpse into Proust's private world during this intimate moment. It invites us to reflect upon mortality and contemplate the legacy left behind by great minds like his own. The composition captures not only physical frailty but also an undeniable strength emanating from within. As we gaze upon this rare portrait, we cannot help but be moved by the profound emotions it evokes. It serves as a reminder that even in our final hours, there is still beauty to be found – beauty in reflection, introspection, and acceptance. Preserved within a private collection, this anonymous piece allows us to connect with history through artistry. Its lithographic quality adds depth and texture to every detail captured by the lens—a testament to photography's ability to capture fleeting moments forever. This photograph stands as a tribute to Marcel Proust's enduring influence on literature while reminding us all of our shared humanity
