History of Clara

1747 / Strasbourg (mistaken)

Clara’s visit in December 1747 is listed by Faust (source 3801), but there is no contemporary evidence, and this remains to be verified.


Source 3801. Broadsheet of Strasbourg

Faust, I. 2003. Zoologische Einblattdrucke und Flugschriften vor 1800, vol. 5: Unpaarhufer. Stuttgart,

p. 56 In the itinerary, a visit to Strassburg is listed for December 1747 (and again in April 1748). The reference is to broadsheet 718.6, which is undated – but the text does not provide any evidence of visit to Strassburg.
