Charles Baudelaire — one of the most influential poets of all time. The Flowers of Evil — his masterpiece.


The Flowers of Evil was published 25 June 1857 by Auguste Poulet-Malassis and Eugène de Broise. Before signing off on the final print, Baudelaire worked and reworked his poems. He broke with the text, rectified it,  and solicited his editor’s advice, working himself towards the brink of exhaustion.

Baudelaire's corrected proofs for his Flowers of Evil






A run in with Rodin

In 1887, August Rodin (an enthusiast for Baudelaire’s poetry) illustrated his own copy of the anthology. We added these 13 previously unpublished illustrations to this luxury edition.
