ARTHUR RIMBAUD

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:35 pm

Djibouti issued in 1991 two stamps which depict the French poet and adventurer Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) and on the 90f stamp is showed a 19th century sailing ship.

The vessel is not identified, Rimbaud wrote a poem “The Drunken Boat” maybe a representation of that ship is showed or a ship he travelled on to Djibouti in 1884.

Wikipedia has more info on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rimbaud

Djibouti 1991 90f sg1074, scott692.
