A BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION COPY, WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO THE GREAT BIBLIOPHILE HORACE DE LANDAU. PROUST, Marcel. Les Plaisirs et les jours. Illustrations de Madeleine Lemaire. Preface d'Anatole France. Quatre pieces pour piano de Reynaldo Hahn. Paris, Calmann Levy, 1896. FIRST EDITION. 4to, pp. [2], X, 271 pp., [2]; with 14 plates out of the text and several illustrations in the text. Landau's bookplate. Beautiful dedication on the initial blank by Proust to Baron Landau: "A Monsieur Horace de Landau, comme un hommage de ma respecteuse, admirative et reconnaisante amitié Marcel Proust". Contemporary binding in half purple morocco, publisher's printed wrappers preserved. Pasteboard slipcase. Fine copy. Horace de Landau was an important 19th century banker and a great collector and bibliophile. Part of his famous library was donated to the city of Florence, the other was auctioned by Hoepli in 1945. The work is a collection of poems and prose on the world of the Parisian salons and cultural gatherings that Proust used to frequent. This is almost a representation in embryo of his immensely celebrated "Recherche". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1647368793772
