Add to basketIn-12 (18x12,4cm), broché. (Trois petites piqûres sur la couverture.)Couverture imprimée en rouge et noir tenant lieu de titre, et 53 pp.Très bel exemplaire de l'édition originale d'Une saison en enfer, seul recueil publié du vivant d'Arthur Rimbaud.Édition originale imprimée à compte d'auteur par Rimbaud, alors jeune poète inconnu de dix-neuf ans. L'impression de ce mince recueil fut achevée en octobre 1873, et quelques exemplaires furent distribués par l'auteur lui-même à ses intimes. Rimbaud n'ayant pas réglé les frais d'impression à son imprimeur bruxellois M.-J. Poot, ce dernier conserva le stock restant et ce n'est qu'en 1901 que le bibliophile et mécène belge Léon Losseau découvrit les 425 exemplaires entreposés depuis 1873. Recherchée et collectionnée depuis par les bibliophiles, cette édition mythique d'Une saison en enfer est d'une grande rareté, le stock découvert ayant été expurgé des exemplaires ayant pris l'humidité (ils ont été détruits) et de quelques autres distribués à des institutions et bibliophiles. Tirage probable à 450 ou 500 exemplaires sur papier vélin ordinaire.Exemplaire bien complet des quatorze pages (7 feuillets) restées blanches pour une raison inconnue - censure, erreur d'imposition ou volonté de l'auteur.En français dans le texte, 299 ; Ch. Galantaris, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Mallarmé. P., 2000, n° 220 ; Carteret II, p. 271. // ENGLISH // In-12 (18x12,4cm), paperback (three small stains on the cover.)Cover printed in red and black in lieu of title, and 53 pp.Very good copy of the first edition of Une saison en enfer, the only collection published during Arthur Rimbaud's lifetime.Probable edition of 450 copies on ordinary vellum paper. First edition printed on account of the author and only collection published during Arthur Rimbaud's life, then young unknown poet of nineteen years old. The printing of this thin collection was finished in October 1873, and some copies were distributed by Rimbaud himself to his friends. Not having honored his debt towards his Brussels printer M.-J. Poot, the latter kept the stock which was forgotten until 1901, when the Belgian bibliophile and patron Léon Losseau discovered 425 copies stored since 1873 in the printer's stock. Sought after and collected by bibliophiles ever since, this mythical edition of Une saison en enfer is of great rarity, the discovered stock having been purged of a few copies that had become damp (were destroyed) and of a few others distributed to institutions and bibliophiles.Our copy is in perfect condition and as issued, with the black and red printed cover in place of the title, without flyleaf, and quite complete with the 14 blank pages (7 leaves). It is covered with the publisher's crystal paper and is kept unbound in a slipcase signed by P.L. Martin. In French in the text, 299; Ch. Galantaris, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Mallarmé. P., 2000, n° 220; Carteret II, p. 271.
