EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment frozen in time, just moments before tragedy struck. It depicts Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria, and his beloved wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, on that fateful day in Sarajevo on June 28th, 1914. Little did they know that their lives were about to be cut short by an act of violence that would ignite the flames of World War I. In this image, we see the couple standing side by side with solemn expressions etched upon their faces. There is a sense of anticipation and perhaps even apprehension in their eyes as they prepare for what should have been a routine visit to Sarajevo. The Archduke's presence alone was seen as provocative by some within the region. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of love and unity amidst impending doom. Franz Ferdinand and Sophie's bond is palpable; they stand together united against whatever challenges may come their way. Published years later in 1935 as part of "The Story Of 25 Eventful Years In Pictures" this image serves as a reminder of how one single event can shape the course of history forever. It symbolizes the spark that ignited World War I and changed countless lives across the globe. Ken Welsh's capture allows us to reflect upon the fragility of peace and appreciate those fleeting moments before tragedy strikes – forever immortalized through photography.
