Johana's Lebewohl on cover; Johanna's Lebewohl on first page of score. Date 1858 from UNC description page - unknown whether copyright is visible on a portion of the score that's been cropped (likely that copyright was in fact visible- and just cropped- given US law and practice of the time). The January 1, 1860 Musical Times (p.196) has an advertisement by Chappell mentioning an edition of this work by them (already calling it "the most popular piece..." by him.) British Library has a copy (unspecified publisher) whose publication date they estimate as 1853.
