[Rarebooks] FS: Framed Paul Verlaine SIGNED Handwritten Letter

[Charles Agvent]

VERLAINE, Paul. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Paris, 1 August 1895. 
One-page SIGNED handwritten letter in French on 4-1/2" x 6-3/4" sheet to 
an unnamed politician regarding placement of an article about his book 
in REVUE ENCYCLOPÉDIQUE. Roughly translated: "I received your check for 
4 guineas today and I thank you. The article on your book is at the 
REVUE ENCYCLOPÉDIQUE, a very important magazine which comes out about 
the 15th. As soon as the magazine will be printed, I'll send it to you 
myself. Let me congratulate you on your electoral victory although I 
take hardly any interest in politics." Matted and framed along with a 
reproduced image of Georges Rouault’s portrait of Verlaine. Associated 
with the Symbolist and Decadent movements, Verlaine's poetry was admired 
and recognized as ground-breaking, serving as a source of inspiration to 
composers including Gabriel Fauré and Claude Debussy. He died in 1896 at 
the age of 51 after being ravaged by drug dependence and alcoholism.
