EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Arthur Rimbaud, a renowned French poet and adventurer. Taken in 1895, this image showcases Rimbaud's distinct style and personality. Known for his brief yet brilliant career as a poet, Rimbaud wrote his final poem at the tender age of 19 before embarking on a life filled with wanderlust. After leaving behind the world of poetry, Rimbaud became a traveling merchant and trader, spending much of his time in Ethiopia. This unexpected shift in occupation adds to the mystique surrounding this literary genius. The photograph is taken from the cover of La Revue Blanche, an influential publication from that era. Rimbaud's attire exudes an air of nonconformity; he dons a hat with casual elegance while smoking a pipe confidently. His portrait reflects both intensity and introspection, capturing the essence of his creative spirit. The print itself is part of People, a volume that delves into the origins and early history of various aspects essential to human existence. Published by Readers Union in London in 1956, it serves as an homage to individuals who have left indelible marks on society through their unique contributions. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into the world of one extraordinary man whose poetic brilliance continues to inspire generations even today.
