About the print

Lifted straight from Rimbaud's own manuscript — the "lettre du voyant" of 15 May 1871 — not set in type. « Je est un autre », "I is another", in the poet's actual hand, screenprinted in a single sepia ink. The archive marks are cleaned; every stroke of his pen is untouched. Nothing redrawn.

About the artist

Care — Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print.
