GAVRILO PRINCIP


 Wikipedia says this about Gavrilo Princip, the persona behind this mural on a street of the same name:

"On June 28, 1914, one event changed the world. A Bosnian-Serb youth Gavrilo Princip, aged only 19, shot and killed the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir apparent to the Austrian throne, and his wife Sophie as their motorcade passed by on the streets of Sarajevo."---the shot heard about the world.

He looks a lot older than 19, if this is supposed to be Princip. If it is supposed to be Archduke Franz Ferdinand, he is very thin in this mural.

A little man who killed someone less important that he thought he was. And millions paid the price.
