The agreement to publish this cheap edition along with 1902.17 had been stipulated in a contract (KA 315) signed by the author and his publisher on May 3, 1902.

Of the cheap edition, four title editions have been found with the same imprint. The dates of publication, however, could not be ascertained. All four title editions were given the imprint that Wormser used from the autumn of 1896 to the autumn of 1905. They were likely printed in the same print run but given a new title page each time, indicating, respectively, “third printing” through “sixth printing.” Title editions were frequently published for commercial reasons. By issuing title editions, publishers frequently gave the appearance of having high sales figures and were able to provide the public with “new editions” of their backlist. This fairly common practice was perhaps also induced by large print runs such as those for 1894.03, 1900.07, and 1906.10. The publisher only advertised 1902.17 through the summer of 1907. After five years the stock was still quite extensive.
