An extremely rare card showing the arrest of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria’s would-be assassinator, ‘The Bomb-thrower, Cabrinovic’ on June 28 1914 at Sarajevo. Cabrinovic’s bomb missed the Archduke and, despite swallowing a cyanide capsule and jumping into the River Miljacka, this member of the Black Hand secret organisation was fished out and arrested. Austrian.
