First American edition of the seventh and final installment of Proust's A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, first published Paris, 1924.

The fragile dust jacket, prone to wear due to thin paper stock and black printing, is in notably nice condition. Moreover, it's an exemplar of restrained art-deco design, and is now housed in a clear, removable archival protector.
