Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, leave Sarajevo City Hall on June 28, 1914, shortly before they were killed. Within 30 days, WWI would begin.
You may also find it interesting to know that Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna has an exhibit including the car which Franz Ferdinand was riding when he was shot, the blood-stained uniform coat he wore, and the chaise longue upon which he died. Here are some photographs. Others have posted pictures in this thread also.

For a minute I thought the white part of the back of the car was part of her dress...
