Crown Prince Rudolf (1858-1889), aged 19, and his friend the zoologist Alfred Edmund Brehm (1829-1884) hunting in Croatia, 1877
Based on "an original illustration", drawn by W. Planck presumably around 1929 for the book "Tiervater Brehm. Seine Forschungsreisen / Ein Gedenkblatt zum 100. Geburtstag", by Dr. Kurt Floericke. Kosmos, Gesellschaft der Naturfreunde, Stuttgart 1929. Source
