a print of the film (though not the supplemental epilogue) was deposited for american copyright at the library of congress on october 12, 1904, and the film was sold in french, american, and british catalogs by the star film company. as with at least 4% of méliès's entire output (including such films as "a trip to the moon", "the rajah's dream", "the kingdom of the fairies", and "the barber of seville"), some prints were individually hand-colored and sold at a higher price.
