Exceptionally rare receipt in the sum of ten francs for two autographed copies of his poem "Eventail Directoire," dated February 9, 1892. In fine condition for its age, with a ragged top edge and several vertical folds, one passing through his surname. Legendary fin de siecle French poet Paul-Marie Verlaine, who died at 51 following years of drug and alcohol dependence, is considered one of the greatest representatives of the Symbolist movement.
