- Curator's comments
- The date is based on the text, where the astrologer says: "Mars laufft in einem Jahr und sechs und fiertzig Wochen...", which suggests that the print was made in the second year of Theodor's 'reign'. According to the title, Theodor was in flight, which, however, he was repeatedly. (he was in Corsica in 1736, 1738, 1743)
