VERLAINE , Paul (1844-1896)
Fêtes galantes. Paris : Alphonse Lemerre, 1869.
Édition originale du deuxième recueil publié par Verlaine.
Cette édition est publiée aux dépens de l'auteur, le succès des Poèmes saturniens n'ayant pas été jugé suffisant pour convaincre l'éditeur de prendre à sa charge les frais d'impression. Rimbaud, qui, à l'époque, n'a pas encore fait la connaissance de Verlaine mais s'est procuré son livre, écrit à son professeur de rhétorique Georges Izambard: "j'ai les Fêtes galantes de Paul Verlaine, un joli in-12 écu. C'est fort bizarre, très drôle; mais vraiment c'est adorable..." (lettre du 25 août 1876, éditée dans Verlaine, Oeuvres poétiques complètes, Pléiade, 1962, p. 102).

Précieux exemplaire sur vergé de Hollande, avec envoi autographe signé de Verlaine au poète parnassien Henry Winter.
Verlaine lui avait dédié le chapitre "Caprices" des Poèmes saturniens. Henri Winter avait collaboré au premier recueil du Parnasse contemporain avec 2 poèmes : L'Auberge et Nuit d'Hiver. Il est l'un des trois Parnassiens à qui Verlaine dédia un poème.
Clouzot, p. 266 ; Vicaire, II, col. 990 ; Carteret, II, p. 418.

Petit in-12 (149 x 92 mm). Édition originale. Un des 350 exemplaires sur vergé de Hollande, au filigrane BFK. Envoi autographe signé sur le faux-titre : "à mon ami Henry Winter, Souvenir bien sympathique, P. Verlaine". Reliure de l'époque : demi-percaline rouge à coins, dos lisse et muet, sans les couvertures (reliure frottée et tachée, usures au tissu).
Provenance : Henry Winter (envoi).

First edition - an attractive copy on laid Holland paper, inscribed by Verlaine to his friend and fellow Parnassian poet Henry Winter.
