Rimbaud - Poésies

     N obody is serious at seventeen!
       From the revolted young man to the visionary on his Drunken Boat,  going through a Season in Hell and racked with his Illuminations, the meeting with Hélène Nué, a modern young engraver, was bound to happen.
     Mastering to perfection all the facets of engraving, from the dry point to the burin passing by etching, she has marked the poet's way with 15 copperplates which, quoting his own words: inspect the invisible world and make us hear amazing things .
     The copperplates were colored dabbed by Francine et Jean Cappelle. The text, hand set in foundry type 12 point Ronaldson, was printed in two colours on Pierre Jean Mathan's press. Each engraving is signed by the Artist.
      Printed at 200 numbered copies on finest papers: pearly Japanese and Vélin de Rives, the work in super royal octavo (19 x 28 cm) is bound with engraved parchment board and leather back, and presented in a Bernard Duval quarto royal size box (25 x 32 cm).
