The first edition appeared in 1924, also issued by Alexander Stols as the second volume in his series "To the Happy Few" in an edition of 50 copies "welke allen door den dichter en door den drukker van hunne handteekeningen werden voorzien." This second edition was printed in July 1941, during the German occupation in World War II, by Meijer's Boek- en Handelsdrukkerij in Wormerveer.
