Paris: Léon Genonceaux, 1891. Fine. Léon Genonceaux, Paris 1891, 11,5x18cm, relié. - Édition en grande partie originale, imprimée à 550 exemplaires et à la bonne date de 1891 sur la page de titre. Reliure en plein cartonnage ornementé de motifs floraux estampés à froid, dos lisse très légèrement bruni sans gravité, pièce de titre de chagrin marron, date dorée en queue, couvertures conservées, reliure de l'époque. Une étiquette de description de libraire encollée en tête d'une garde et qui a laissé une ombre en son regard. Sur trois feuillets ajoutés et reliés en fin de volume a été contrecollée une émouvante coupure de presse, contemporaine de l'édition et intitulée ""La vérité sur Rimbaud"". Elle reproduit la lettre d'Isabelle Rimbaud qui restitue la ""vériable"" biographie de son frêre en réponse à l'article ""absolument faux"" paru dans Entretiens politiques et littéraires. L'un des précieux exemplaires de première émission comportant la préface originale de Rodolphe Darzens dont la suite du tirage a été amputée. Agréable exemplaire établi dans une reliure de l'époque, ce qui est rare selon Clouzot.
