Proust's first galley proof

.. of "À la recherche du temps perdu: Du côté de chez Swann" with his handwritten corrections. This is such a charming document, laden with a spirit that computer revisions don't have. Interesting that one theme of the novel is a reflection on the changes wrought by the advent of new technology.
