Last the last monarch of Europe . There are others still on there thrones .
But he was a Habsburg .
An when you look at the line of ancestors .
He was the last monarch.
With his death all was a bloody remains on the battlefield of you Europe …
Most commonly known as the Emperor Franz Joseph in Southern Europe, hated by many, particularly in Northern Italy ( which was part of the empire) where he suppressed with an iron fist the rebellion of Italian patriots.
I believe that palace has 1000 rooms or some gargantuan number. When I toured it I was apalled by how room after room had pretty bad gold gilding applied. I also wondered about how many peasants had to bleed for this great palace to be built honoring who knows whom
I’m curious…. is he showing respect and or gun safety by covering the barrel with his hand ( to the photographer)? … possibly more than one in the room at the time.
Old Franz was going out on a “Date”….
6 years before his demise.
Emperor, NOT Kaiser!
Playing dress up because he was rich and bored. Wasted lives.
Van Pelt is that you?
U forgot to mention IN FRONT OF CHAIR, UNDER THE ROOF, IN A ROOM
In Galicia they used to call him jokingly “Old fart”.

He always reminds me of the butlet from scary movie 2. The one with the ” strong” hand
Niamh Hollis-Locke this man has THE most legendary facial hair, huge fan of the fur – always have been
not exactly Conan the Barbarian
The best leader we’ve ever had.
My heart goes out to that floor
Looks like those soles of his shoes are the forerunners of today’s.
He had a very tragic life. Should have stopped his crazy general.
Well, don’t want to be fussy, but he doesn’t stand “under” the chandelier, as it hangs at least 3-4m away from him. Just saying…
Van Pelt? Is that you?
The man who brought prosperity to our land. Glory to the great man!
Coco Chanel said “No knees” and she was right 😄
Loved him in Jumanji.
Could this be the look that Michael Portillo is going for in his current series about the Pyrenees?
It’s that old dude from Jumanji.

I like when he tried to kill Robin Williams in Jumanji

There are over 1,000 trophies hanging in Franz Joseph’s gun room
A few years after his passing obviously.
Thats not in Schönbrunn. Thats in the Hofburg palace central vienna. I work their many times

Cleats on the hard floor is a nice touch, too.
I think this is where Jumanji 1995 took inspiration for the character hunter in the film..
I loved this ‘Only fools’ episode!
‘One more turn Del Boy.’
Classic.
Prior to WW2, he was the worst ruler in modern European history.
