"Rackham's drawings first appeared in magazine form, in several parts, bound in wrappers, in 1901 and 1902. The subscribers' edition was published in 1901, but probably one volume at a time to form a 3 volume set, the same as with the wrapper edition. A few of these drawings first appeared in Cassell's Magazine in 1896." [Riall]
