Quarto. Limited edition, number 53 of 125 copies. This being a presentation copy. 12 fascicles in clamshell box. The first two fascicles are bifolium comprising the title page and colophon. The remaining are trifolds with Rimbaud French on the left across from Michael Feingold's English translation on the right; the center containing a mounted illustration by Thomson. The contents are clean and bright and in fine condition. The clamshell is a trifle sunned at the spine.

This was issued in an edition of 125 copies, the first 25 being signed by the translator and illustrator. While this is not among the first 25 copies it is a presentation copy for one of the designers, Richard Reitzes and is signed and inscribed not only by Feingold and Thomson but by the publisher and co-designer, Vincent Fitz Gerald. A wonderful association copy of this beautiful edition of Rimbaud.
