ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria (1830–1916) was one of Europe's longest reigning monarchs, ruling the Austrian Empire from 1848 and the Austro-Hungarian Empire from its formation in 1867 until his death in 1916. A prominent figure in 19th Century European history, he became a symbol of Habsburg imperial authority, military tradition and the grandeur of the Austro Hungarian monarchy. His remarkable 68 year reign witnessed profound political, social and industrial changes, as well as considerable upheaval across Europe. The assassination of his nephew and heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, in Sarajevo in 1914 precipitated the crisis that led to the First World War. Franz Joseph remains one of the most recognisable figures of the Habsburg dynasty, frequently commemorated in portraits, medals and equestrian sculptures depicting him in his distinctive military uniform.
