Even though I’m currently off Tumblr for the most part, I can’t miss such a favourable opportunity, since someone unbelievably important for the European history (even not if in a positive way) has been a part of its legacy for 250 years now. 🇦🇹
Happy birthday to that cunning Austrian minister over there - refined aristocrat, perfect gentleman and a hopeless romantic deep in his heart (even though he denied it himself and was denied by many of such merit). 🥂
He may be criticised or even judged severely for many of his deeds, yet he remains an exceptionally fascinating person to be studied.
Even more so, since he would have enjoyed it himself quite a bit. ;)
