Martin) First edition printed at 253 copies. Portraits of the cursed poets printed on China paper. Copy enriched with a letter : "to Mr Charles Buet / sympathetically / P. Verlaine". Signature of Charles Buet on the cover. Charles Buet (Chambéry, 1846 - Paris, 1897), is a French writer and journalist. This volume contains in first edition the following pieces by Rimbaud: Voyelles, Oraison du Soir, Les Assis, Les Effarés, Les Chercheuses de poux, Bateau ivre. With "Les Poètes maudits", we are at the beginning of the author's relationship with the one who was to become his publisher. Léon Vanier, born in Paris on December 27, 1847, opened a small shop in 1869 after having been a simple bookshop clerk. His ambition was to be, for the decadents and the symbolists, what Lemerre had been for the Parnassians (Carteret II, p. 422). Rare and superb copy.
