Emperor of Austria Portrait Described by Era’s Witness
The Austrian emperor is a tall spare man of soldierly bearing under forty-five, near fifty, with sandy hair turning iron gray and a trimmed military look. He has small restless gray eyes and strong lips from the Lap bury lineage, a patient tactful worker with a dogged work ethic. He speaks six European languages and wins hearts by addressing Hungarians, Bohemians, Polish Austrians, and Croatians in their native tongues, earning broad popularity throughout the empire.
