Summary/Abstract: Portrait Sequences. Case Study: Emperor Franz Joseph I. The paper provides a brief overview of how one of Europe’s longest-lived sovereigns wanted to remain in the memory of posterity. For this purpose, a series of official portraits of Emperor Franz Joseph I were analyzed, noting his preference for several typological series. The Collections of the National History Museum of Transylvania in Cluj-Napoca shelters in its patrimony a series of objects related to the emperor, among which there are a number of three graphic portraits representative for each of the great typological series observed.
