Edition and history: Second(?) edition, having many plates of the original edition(Artaria 1795) included
Comments: According to Kinsky-Halm, this copy is the fourth re-issue of the Artaria edition of 1795; however since more than half of the plates are re-engraved, it is new edition including many original plates.
Judging from the watermark, the earliest publishing year would have to be 1812 for numbers 1 & 3 of Op. 1. Although the watermark of this copy is different from them, based on the conditions of the plates, the earliest publishing year is presumed to be 1812. References: Kinsky-Halm: p. 5
