The 1st round of printing had a dust jacket with printed plate, when the book was printed as much as requested, the expensive plate was omitted and the book provided with a dust jacket with the same cover as the linen binding. Both dust jackets were literally intended as protective covers and made from the thinnest "newspaper" available. The book itself is beautiful with the intaglio color prints, on thick wood-containing paper The book, which is also in good condition, is not rare because of the high print runs in a few years, but difficult with an intact dust jacket The importer only has one variant with the 1st dust jacket and 1 without jacket. Without cover will be entered as the 2nd edition, where a collector can enter the other dust jacket in the 3rd scan field in due course.
