Description

The director of the Jacques Doucet Literary Library gives an enthusiastic commentary on some unique items: drawings made by three friends of Rimbaud who because of their regular correspondence between each other helped trace the chaotic and premonitory journey of a Rimbaud, who in 1880, was finally ready to embark on the ''great departure'' for Africa.
