He rather looks like the Emperor Franz Joseph did in later years. He would have made an excellent Emperor. He did rule the hearts of all of us who support the Claims of the House of Hapsburg. It would be nice to see a restoration at least in Austria. Kings of Austria would be a good place to start!
