Loose folded sheets in double paper wrappers. Published jointly by Ota Janeček and Ludmila Jiřincová in Prague in May 1954 as the 7th volume of the J. edition, in a single copy on Maršov handmade vellum. Colophon signed by L. Jiřincová and marked: "zkušeb. výtisk" (trial copy). Good condition, only slightly thumbed lower edges of the leaves.
