Prince Francois Joseph ier 
1772—1781 
A la mort de Joseph Venceslas, la 
succession alla à son neveu, le prince 
François Joseph le (né en 1726, mort 
en 1781), héritier du trône dès sa 
naissance étant donné que le seul fils de 
Joseph Venceslas était mort en 1723 
déjà. C'est ainsi que François Joseph 
accompagna très tôt son oncle dans ses 
campagnes militaires et ses voyages 
diplomatiques. Par la suite, il manifesta 
non seulement beaucoup d'intérêt pour 
es questions économiques, mais aussi 
pour les collections d’œuvres d’art qu’il 
snrichit d’une importante collection 
de gravures.

After the death of Prince Joseph Wen- 
ceslas the succession passed to his 
nephew, Prince Francis Joseph | (born 
1726, died 1781). From his birth on he 
was recognized as heir to the throne 
since Joseph Wenceslas’s only son had 
already died in 1723. Thus even in his 
earliest youth Francis Joseph accom- 
panied his uncle on his military cam- 
paigns and diplomatic journeys. In later 
life he not only showed great interest 
in economic questions, but he also 
concerned himself greatly with the art 
collection, which he expanded with 
an extensive collection of engravings.
