The number of copies issued is not known but publications by the Henriëtte Roland Holst-Stichting typically consisted of only circa 300 copies. This woodcut was listed as used by the Henriëtte Roland Holst Stichting, but Escher used it himself as Christmas 1961 greetings card to some friends. A near mint copy. Bool, 440.
