Editor First edition (later printing)
Language English
Publisher. Info. London: Chappell & Co., 1890*. Plate 18,844.
Copyright
Misc. Notes Chappell likely printed vocal scores in time for the premiere (December 1889). Wadsworth filed for the Church issue in 1889 and the original Chappell after the first of the year. The scanned copy scanned was probably printed between 1890 and 1894.

Copyright
Misc. Notes Chappell re-engraved the more popular of the G. & S. vocal scores starting in the 1920s, hence the reference to the 1911 revision of the English copyright law.

Copyright
Misc. Notes This edition is believed to have been originally printed in the 1930s. This cover started to be issued on scores in the 1970s. The particular scanned score has been owned by MadOne since 1987 and is certainly over 25 years old. The back cover was lost so the back cover is now a copy of the front cover.
