EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, featuring Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his family circa 1910. The image showcases the Archduke, alongside his wife, Archduchess Sophie Chotek von Chotkova, and their children. Little did they know that their lives would soon be tragically altered by an event that would shape history. The assassination of the Archduke and Archduchess in Sarajevo in 1914 served as the catalyst for the First World War. This poignant illustration is taken from "The Illustrated War Record of the Most Notable Episodes in the Great European War 1914-1918" published around 1920. In this portrait, we see a glimpse into a royal family's life during peaceful times. The elegant attire worn by each member reflects their status and importance within Austrian society. The fatherly figure of Archduke Franz Ferdinand stands tall with pride while holding one of his sons dressed smartly in a sailor suit. Next to him stands his beloved wife, exuding grace and poise as she cradles their daughter tenderly. This photograph serves as a reminder that even those who hold positions of power are not immune to tragedy or conflict. It encapsulates both joyous moments shared within a loving family unit but also foreshadows the devastating impact that awaited them just years later on that fateful day in Sarajevo.
