Zobel arranged the prints in his album in thematic groups. It opened with a section on ancient history, followed by topical prints, mythological and allegorical depictions, portraits and caricatures, religious gatherings, architecture, and sculpture. In this etching (in the first section), the Tiburtine Sibyl prophesies the coming of Christ to the Roman emperor Augustus.
