By its design not attributable to the several large sets of the publishing house supposedly still from the aegis of the brothers Joseph Sebastian & Johann Baptist Klauber (c. 1700 and 1712 resp. – 1768 and after 1787 resp.) in an impression from about 1800 with watermark Ravensburg. – The inscription Klauber Catholici refers to the rather unique position of the two Klaubers and their successors as deliberately catholic enterprise as against the in their majority Protestant Augsburg engraver-publishers. – Paled stamp on the back.
