Description

Paul Verlaine

Famed and highly influential French poet (1844–1896). Though he produced such lasting classics as Poèmes saturniens and Romances sans paroles, he is probably better known for his tumultuous love affair with the prodigiously gifted teenage poet Arthur Rimbaud. ALS in French, signed “P. Verlaine,” one page, 5.25 x 8.25, October 3. Short untranslated letter to Catull Mendes informing him that Ladislas Loevy will draw a portrait of him that will be used for the frontispiece of his next book. In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
