New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1986. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Full morocco folio, approximately 14.25 x 10.5 inches.

A stunning set, printed in two colors -- black wiped onto the etched area and yellow rolled onto the surface as a final step in preparing the plate for printing. Mapplethorpe explores both Rimbaud's life (the gun image referring to when he was shot by Verlaine) and his own difficult relationship with Catholicism. Very rare and very beautiful.
