The illustrations below come from 3 volumes of poetry published in the late 1800s by Estes and Lauriat. Within the three volumes, the poems are organized by the collections Hugo published them in. Most of the illustrations correspond directly to a poem, and in these cases, the poem appears with the illustration below (or will soon appear). The major exception is that each volume opens with an illustration to which there is no corresponding poem - it appears they're to poems that aren't included in the collection.
