EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, as the police arrest Gavrilo Princip, the Bosnian Serb responsible for assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. Taken in Sarajevo on June 28th, 1914, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the spark that ignited World War I. Published in 1935 as part of "The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" this photograph transports us back to that fateful day when Princip forever altered the course of history. The arresting officers stand tall and determined, their faces etched with both determination and disbelief at the magnitude of what has just transpired. Gavrilo Princip himself appears stoic yet haunted by his actions. His eyes betray a mix of remorse and conviction as he is taken into custody for his role in one of the most significant political assassinations ever committed. This single act set off a chain reaction that plunged nations into war and reshaped global alliances. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image not only documents an important historical event but also invites contemplation on themes such as nationalism, conflict, and individual responsibility. It serves as a poignant reminder that even seemingly insignificant actions can have far-reaching consequences. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded to reflect on how one man's choice reverberated throughout time – forever altering the destiny of nations and leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory
