Here is my adaptation of an English translation of Rimbaud’s “Le bateau ivre” (1871). This work was commissioned for the “The Graphic Canon”, an anthology of visual adaptations of classic works of literature edited by Russ Kick and published by Seven Stories Press: http://www.sevenstories.com/book/?GCOI=58322100888750 (click on images to enlarge)

I don’t know, unfortunately. It’s a public domain translation that was provided to me by the editor of The Graphic Canon, but I was never able to find out the name of the translator.
