More about the book
This book commemorates the 100th anniversary of the death of Emperor Franz Joseph, who ruled the Habsburg monarchy for nearly seven decades. Ascending to power at the age of 18, he became a symbol of the monarchy and its cohesion. However, his policies left many of the state's complex issues unresolved, contributing to its eventual decline. The volume explores the life and character of the emperor in all aspects: as a private individual and passionate hunter, as a statesman and military leader, and as a husband and father. Richly illustrated, the catalog presents a wealth of previously unpublished photographs and includes essays by renowned experts, offering the latest research on the "eternal emperor."
