EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French lyric poet, Paul Verlaine, captured in 1893 by artist Albert Harlinque. Verlaine, a prominent figure associated with both the Parnassians and Symbolists movements, played a pivotal role in shaping French literature during the late 19th century. Alongside Stephane Mallarme and Charles Baudelaire, he formed what was known as the Decadents. In this colorized black and white portrait, Verlaine's direct gaze exudes an air of contemplation and intensity. His distinguished appearance is accentuated by his bearded face and balding head. Clad in a Victorian-era jacket adorned with a stylish scarf, Verlaine embodies the essence of sophistication. The location remains undisclosed; however, it undoubtedly reflects the ambiance of France during that era - an artistic hub where creativity flourished. This image captures not only Verlaine's physical features but also his profound connection to literature and poetry. Preserved through time on this cigarette card from Felix Potin's second collection in 1893, this print serves as a testament to Verlaine's enduring legacy. The artistry of Albert Harlinque breathes life into this historical moment while offering viewers a glimpse into the world of one of France's most influential poets.
