Cover

La Trilogie Érotique de Paul Verlaine is a suite of fifteen etchings created by Martin van Maële in 1907 to illustrate La Trilogie érotique : Amies, Femmes, Hombres by Paul Verlaine.

The poems of La Trilogie érotique were composed between 1867 and 1891 and originally published as three separate volumes: Les amies (1867), sonnets in praise of lesbian love; Femmes (1890), homage to Verlaine’s women friends and lovers; and Hommes (1891), inspired by his homosexual experiences.
