Plate I from the series of Russisches Ballet was published in the Brücke Mappe VII in 1912 in an edition of approximately one hundred impression. Fritz Gurlitt then published a second edition of this plate, which consisted of fifty impressions on laid paper and twenty on Japan. The other plates from the series were only printed in very small numbers and never published.
The inscription with the number I on the present impressions, as well as the papers used, implies that these are early, possibly the first proofs, printed before the edition of plate I.
