EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of arrest of Gavrilo Princip, the 21-year-old Serbian nationalist who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, on the fateful day of June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo. The incident occurred during an official tour of the city, and the assassination served as a pretext for Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, which ultimately precipitated the beginning of World War I. Princip, a member of the Serbian nationalist group "Black Hand," was apprehended by Austro-Hungarian soldiers shortly after the assassination, which took place at the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo. The image shows Princip being led away by Austro-Hungarian soldiers, with a determined expression on his face, while a crowd of onlookers watches the scene unfold. This historical photograph, taken on July 21, 1914, provides a poignant reminder of the complex web of events that set the stage for one of the most cataclysmic conflicts in human history. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife marked the end of the old European order and the beginning of a new era, marked by the rise of total war and the decline of empires. The image of Princip's arrest is an important visual record of a pivotal moment in world history.
