EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned poet Paul Verlaine in a moment of contemplation, as he indulges in absinthe at the Cafe Francois 1er in Paris, back in 1892. The image, taken by Dornac (Paul Francois Arnold Cardon), showcases Verlaine's love for both poetry and alcohol. Verlaine, known for his melancholic verses and tumultuous personal life, is seen immersed in his own world amidst the bustling ambiance of the cafe. With a signature of the poet adorning this postcard-like photograph from France, it becomes an intimate glimpse into Verlaine's existence during that era. The combination of absinthe and coffee shop culture adds to the allure of this image. Absinthe was notorious for its association with artistic circles during that time period. It symbolizes not only Verlaine's affinity for alcohol but also his rebellious spirit against societal norms. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported to a bygone era where poets sought inspiration within these lively establishments. This photo serves as a reminder of how artistry often intertwines with leisure activities like drinking and socializing. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their fine art collection. It allows us to appreciate not only Verlaine's legacy but also provides insight into French culture and European literary movements from that time period.
