Allegory of the birth of Archduke Leopold Johann on April 13, 1716, anonymous, 1716, printmaking, etching and copperplate engraving on paper, sheet: 34 × 25.3 cm, [below] 'Destiny luck, and time! You have three monarchies, | no different than rust is iron when it is worn out; | Only on the fourth is your effort in vain | because the durability gives you strong support. | Heaven itself builds its steps still higher | and shows himself to the emperor with a printzen; | That's why one hears Europam shouting happily today, | Long live Carolus! Long live Leopold'
