1st (only!) edition
1965
[limited edition of 1,000 copies]
(publication was meant only for friends of the print shop; the edition was never on sale)
object size: 25 x 25 cm.
(60 sheets) 120 (4) pag.
text in English, French, Dutch, and German
includes the extremely rare and fragile shipping box, which is often missing!
This is the original artist's multiple.
The 60 two-side printed leaflets are enlarged prints from the original 2 x 2 cm. newspaper clippings.
The packaging was part of the artist's concept!
It is complete; the sheets are as far as I could reconstruct still in the right order and orientation.

[ Some time ago some copies have been found at the storage of the print shop:
these copies were all without the original cardboard box and without the editor's letter, and were never sent.*) ]
Limited editions by Roth usually cost $1,000 and more.
Worldwide there is no copy with the cardboard shipping box on sale...)
*) a copy of this non-sent, re-found issue without the box
at art dealers (e.g. in England) normally costs GB£ 275 ($435)...
The publication is in the usual condition.
The acid within the cardboard of the box caused some browning to the sheets of paper;
The known extremely fragile box is also browned and has some tears, one flap detached.
