As I have mentioned, there have been many portraits of Verlaine. The three portraits drawn on lithographic paper by Mr. Rothenstein, and published in 1898, are but the latest, if also among the best, of a long series, of which Mr. Rothenstein himself has done two or three others, one of which was reproduced in the _Pall Mall Gazette_ in 1894, when Verlaine was in London. M. F. A. Cazals, a young artist who was one of Verlaine's most intimate friends, has done I should not like to say how many portraits, some of which he has gathered together in a little book, _Paul Verlaine: ses Portraits,_ 1898. There are portraits in nine of Verlaine's own books, several of them by M. Cazals (roughly jotted, expressive notes of moments), one by M. Anquetin (a strong piece of thinking flesh and blood), and in the _Choix de Poésies_ there is a reproduction of the cloudy, inspired poet of M. Eugène Carrière's painting. Another portrait, which I have not seen, but which Verlaine himself calls, in the _Dédicaces, un portrait enfin reposé,_ was done by M. Aman-Jean. M. Niederhausern has done a bust in bronze, Mr. Rothenstein a portrait medallion. A new edition of the _Confessions,_ 1899, contains a number of sketches; _Verlaine Dessinateur,_ 1896, many more; and there are yet others in the extremely objectionable book of M. Charles Donos, _Verlaine Intime,_ 1898. The _Hommes d'Aujourd'hui_ contains a caricature-portrait, many other portraits have appeared in French and English and German and Italian magazines, and there is yet another portrait in the admirable little book of Charles Morice, _Paul Verlaine,_ 1888, which contains by far the best study that has ever been made of Verlaine as a poet. I believe Mr. George Moore's article, "A Great Poet," reprinted in _Impressions and Opinions,_ 1891, was the first that was written on Verlaine in England; my own article in the _National Review_ in 1892 was, I believe, the first detailed study of the whole of his work up to that date. At last, in the _Vie de Paul Verlaine,_ of Edmund Lepelletier, there has come the authentic record.
