Notes: From Librairie Claude Vrain, Paris; to the present owner in 2002.
Verlaine, a companion of the poet Arthur Rimbaud, was a devoted drinker of Absinthe, a milky hallucinogenic spirit that appears to be on the table before him. Collectors of turn-of-the-century glassware sometimes refer to the egg glass on the table as "Verlaine" glass, because it is seen in this well known Dornac photograph. - Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
