FIRST EDITION, LIMITED TO 850 COPIES, THIS NO. 6 OF 50 ON LIGHT GREEN PAPER. Slocum and Cahoon note that: 'Of these 50 copies [on light green paper] probably 6 were offered for sale by the publisher. These were numbered 1 to 6, with the following notice on p.[iv] in the handwriting of Crosby Gaige: This is one of 6 copies on green paper. Crosby Gaige.'; however, this copy is simply numbered '6', and does not bear the publisher's statement on the limitation page.
