Add to basketAlliance typographique (M.J. Poot & Cie) | Bruxelles 1873 | 12.50 x 18.50 cm | relié sous étui | Edition originale publiée à petit nombre et à compte d'auteur. Reliure en plein maroquin noir, dos à cinq nerfs orné de caissons à froid décorés d'un jeu de filets à froid, date dorée en queue, plats ornés d'un dense et riche décor de filets à froid, contreplats de box rouge, gardes de soie moirée noire, gardes suivantes de papier peigné, couvertures et dos conservés, toutes tranches dorées sur témoins, étui en demi maroquin noir à bandes, plats de papier caillouté, intérieur de feutrine beige,superbe ensemble signé Semet & Plumelle. D'une grande rareté, l'édition originale d'Une saison en enfer constitue une pièce bibliophilique majeure à plusieurs titres : seul livre édité par la volonté de Rimbaud, alors jeune poète inconnu de dix-neuf ans, ce discret volume publié à compte d'auteur ne fut jamais payé par Rimbaud. L'imprimeur conserva donc presque intégralement le tirage qui fut oublié dans l'atelier (Arthur Rimbaud en obtint seulement une dizaine d'exemplaires offerts à ses amis). Le stock fut retrouvé en 1901 par un bibliophile qui récupéra les 425 exemplaires en belle condition et détruisit le reste, détérioré par l'humidité. La curieuse composition de l'ouvrage constitue également une particularité étonnante de cette précieuse édition : l'absence de page de garde et de titre ou de pages conclusives (le texte débute ex abrupto après la couverture et finit de même), les 17 pages blanches intercalées de loin en loin dans le livre, et bien sûr les coquilles et fautes d'orthographe qui émaillent le texte sont autant de curiosités étudiées par les exégètes. Christophe Bataillé y consacre un important article dans la Revue d'histoire littéraire de la France (2008/3 -Vol. 108) et conclut qu'une volonté éditoriale et peut-être auctoriale préside à cette surprenante mise en page. Recherchée et collectionnée très tôt par les bibliophiles, cette édition mythique fut reliée par les plus grands relieurs français du XXe siècle, Pierre-Lucien Martin, Semet & Plumelle, Paul Bonet ou Geroges Leroux. Très bel exemplaire magnifiquement établi en plein maroquin enrichi d'un spectaculaire décor estampé à froid de Semet & Plumelle. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Une saison en enfer [A Season in Hell] Alliance typographique (M. J. Poot & Cie) Bruxelles 1873 | 12,5 x 18,5 cm | full morocco and custom slipcase First edition published in small numbers at the author's expense. Binding in full black morocco elaborately decorated in blind, original wrappers preserved, half black morocco slipcase, outstanding binding signed Semet & Plumelle. This very scarce first edition of Une saison en enfer is a major collector's piece on several counts: it remains the only work published by Rimbaud himself, then a young unknown 19-year-old poet. He eventually never honored his debt towards the printer. The latter therefore kept almost the entire print, subsequently forgotten in the workshop (Arthur Rimbaud obtained only a dozen copies offered to his friends). The stock was found in 1901 by a bibliophile who retrieved the well-preserved 425 copies and destroyed the rest damaged by humidity. The curious composition of the work is also a surprising peculiarity of this precious edition: without a title page nor endpapers (the text begins ex abrupto after the cover and finishes the same way), the seventeen blank pages inserted far and wide in the book, as well as the misprints and spelling errors peppered through the text are also curiosities studied by scholars. Sought-after and collected very early on by bibliophiles, copies of this mythical edition were bound by the greatest French binders namely Pierre Lucien Martin, Semet & Plumelle, Paul Bonet or Georges Leroux. A very beautiful copy set in an outstanding blind tooled full morocco binding by Semet & Plumelle. *.
