Postcard of Nedeljko Cabrinovic being arrested
This postcard shows the arrest of Black Hand member, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, shortly after he threw an M12 Vasic grenade at the car in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand was being chauffeured through Sarajevo in 1914, which was an unsuccessful assassination attempt as the delay on the bomb fuse was such that Ferdinand's car had passed by the danger before the device exploded. After this, Cabrinovic had also taken a cyanide pill that was ineffective, possibly out of date for effectiveness, and then jumped into the Miljacka river to try and drown himself, though the river was just a number of inches deep. He would die of tuberculosis in prison in early 1916. The German text on this postcard of 'Der Bombenwerfer Cabrinovic' translates into English as 'The bomb thrower Cabrinovic'.
