Monarch Typewriter
In the summer of 1911, during a long stay in Cabourg, Marcel Proust asked the shorthand typist at the Grand Hôtel to type up part of his novel. Coecilia Hayward, of English origin, worked on her typewriter for the writer during the summer in Cabourg and then in the fall in Paris, under the supervision of his secretary Albert Nahmias - whose family owned a house in Cabourg. Then, the writer multiplies endlessly the corrections on his typescript, as on his manuscripts.
