If only...

Hes smiling rare for the early 20th century.

Oh true, well that might be because its more of a casual picture snapped in a trench instead of a formal portrait (most of his formal pictures show him more serious) but he was also just kind of like that apparently

was that picture took before or after he was made archduke of austria

During his reign I think

ok

so after 1916

Another sad event in world history

That is not monarchy related

i think

That's Emperor Karl of Austria, the last monarch of his empire before it was dissolved by other people after wwi

ok

I hesitated for a reason, I have not seen many pictures of Kaiser Karl I

I see you are talking about Seine Kaiserliche und Königlich Apostolische Majestät Kaiser Karl I

Yeah that specific picture is really rare/hard to find but is (in my opinion) the best photo of him

true

he is also a saint, dont ask me how he is

not my religion

Mine though actually lol

k

technically he's only blessed not saint rn
