Kaldewey, printed on Johannot paper and mounted on Japanese paper. - “This book has an antique Japanese silk binding from the Meiji era—that is, from the time when Rimbaud was alive. It is hand-painted, and each copy is one-of-a-kind. Another rarity is the fish-skin spine, which was prepared for bookbinding at the beginning of the 20th century.” (Insert) - “Arthur Rimbaud’s enigmatic late poem —whose original manuscript was auctioned in Paris in 2006, prompting Kaldewey to print it—is arranged on a large sheet consisting of twelve smaller watercolors that are connected to one another and folded like an old map. Both the cover and the prints make use of the book’s front and back covers as well as its inner pages. Kaldewey achieved a special effect in the images by briefly placing transparent sheets of paper over the still-wet watercolors; he calls them ‘CrystalPrints.’ This is the last book bearing the imprint “Edition Kaldewey.” The subsequent books are all published under the name “Kaldewey Press.” (from: Von Lucius, p. 319).

The binding and the prints use the same Johannot paper; the red color of the binding and text unites the outside and inside of the book.
