Yes, it's new to me too. I read somewhere that she preferred being photographed with dogs, rather than other people! So did her mother. Is this dog called Shadow, or is it a different one? Shadow has a statue at the Emperor's villa in Ischl. There are some nice dogs pictured with the Empress in Andrew Sinclair's 'Death by Fame' (1998). Countess Kleinmichel in her 'Memories of a Shipwrecked World' (1923) has a few pages on the Empress, and recalls going riding with her. She also reproduces that wonderful photo of the Empress on a couch, with Shadow at her feet.
I am searching this picture of Empress Elizabeth of Austria (Sisi) with her dog Shadow. I only have it in bad quality and only a part of it. Does anybody of you have it or knows in which book it is ? Can anybody post it ? I would be so happy to find it.

The National Photo Archive of the Hungarian National Museum has it, and it was published in 2004, in a volume about the history of colour(ed) photography in Hungary. I'll try to scan it for you.
Please try to scan it for me. I would be so happy.... Can you please tell me more details about that book (History of colour(ed) photography in Hungary). Is it still possible to buy it and where ?
Thanks.

I once read Empress Elisabeth buried her favorite dog Shadow in the park of Godollo. I wonder if the grave is still there?
QuoteI once read Empress Elisabeth buried her favorite dog Shadow in the park of Godollo. I wonder if the grave is still there?
Yes, the grave is still there. Sisi buried in Gödöllö two dogs. Here is a picture of the tombstones of Shadow and Plato, the queen's favorite dogs, in the front garden.

Is that sure, that the graves are still there? I've NEVER EVER heard of it before.
You can see today only the tombstone of Shadow. I was in Gödöllö some years ago and saw it.
Wow, thanks a lot for the pictures Alice of Hesse. So interesting the graves are still there.Did you visit the graves and took the pictures yourself? I will see the graves too when I will be there.
Paola
I was there on holidays a few years ago. Today there is only the tombstone of Shadow. The picture I posted was from a book about Gödöllö - I bought it in the museumshop. It is an old photography in black and white.
Alice
OK, so one of the graves is still there. Thanks for the info. I'll search it next time when I visit Gödöllö. (I've still managed to find the photo of the tombstones posted before. It was made by Mór Erdélyi in the early 1890s).
If you go on the homepage of the castle Gödöllö www.kiralyikastely.hu and klick on Palace History - Palace Park you can read: “Her two beloved dogs were buried here, the marble plate commemorating one of them is still there.”
Alice
Please, am I correct in assuming that the inscription on this card is Romanian, and that Franz Ferdinand is standing with Carol I of Romania? And can you recognize anyone else? Thank you.
I am allmost sure that this is a portrait of Duchess Maria Josepha von Baden-Baden,born Princess of Bavaria...
I am allmost sure that this is dughter of Maria Amalia who married into Baden-Baden family....there were a lot of portraits of her on the net...some I found in some auctions long time ago and I think that there is a site about Baden genealogy,I really don't know the exact adress but just try to google,I am sure that you can find something:

Interesting..maybe the name under the picture was wrong. What makes be confused is that they all look so alike, all those sisters descending from Joseph I's two daughters...

Thank you, the site is very interesting and there are good pictures, but the descriptions are not always complete and it seems that confusions can happen easily.
For example I found a portrait there with the headline "Kaiserin Maria Amalia". In fact, if the empress is meant, the wife of emperor Joseph I. was called "Amalia Wilhelmine", and therfore the name is not correct like that. For me it appears that it is rather their daughter, because she looks like that, but then the lady cannot be an empress. It's strange...
Yes, you are right. I did not think at that moment. Charles VII was the only non-Habsburg emperor for a short time. Thank you for correcting!
But as far as I know, there was at that time no members called Elisabeth in the Modena-Este branch.
My suggest is, that the cdv shows the Archduchess Adelgunde, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? ???
You are right. This is Archduchess Adelgunde, née Princess of Bavaria.
Maybe the seller thought of Archduchess Elisabeth Franziska (Hungarian branch) who was married to Adelgunde's brother-in-law Archduke Ferdinand Karl Victor (1821-1849). Their only child is Marie Therese, last Queen of Bavaria (1849-1919).
I don't know, the archduchesses around 1800-40s, but the painted was titled "Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria" found two without the "i" in it :
Archduchess Maria Theresia Henriette Dorothee of Austria-Este (July 2, 1849 - February 3, 1919) later become Queen of Bavaria. (possily it the child in the painting).
Archduchess Maria Theresa Anna of Austria-Teschen (15 July 1845, Vienna - 8 October 1927, Tübingen) unmarried.
Archduchess Maria Theresa (Isabella) of Austria-Teschen (31 July 1816, Vienna – 8 August 1867, Albano) later Queen of Two Sicilies.
I don't know, the archduchesses around 1800-40s, but the painted was titled "Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria" found two without the "i" in it :
Not to mention the Italian branch that used Maria Teresa....
Who is who? I can see Elisabeth and her mother Stephanie, Possibly Maria Josepha and her daughters and step-daughter- Amelia, Elisabeth, Sophie and Marie Gabrielle? who else?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/MMPC/A%20Imperial%20Album/Together/habsburg.jpg)
Who is Archduchess Elisabeth Amelie? who is her parents?
I believe that the person on the left brhind Archduke Karl is don jaime de Bourbon, carlist claimant to the spanish throne and first cousin of Zita of Bourbon Parma.Who can confirm? thank you.
REMI
I believe that the person on the left behind Archduke Karl is don Jaime de Bourbon, carlist claimant to the spanish throne and first cousin of Zita of Bourbon Parma.Who can confirm? Thank you.
REMI
Looks very much like him. He often was photographed in that hussar unifrom, and his features are very much like Infanta Alix and Beatrix,daughters of Don Carlos.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/MMPC/A%20Imperial%20Album/Austria/archdcuehssmariatheresaia.jpg)
This is Archduchess Maria Theresia, but which one? there were like three living around the same time! looks 1800-40s???
who is her parents?
Can anyone identify this sitter in a Winterhalter for sale at Boris Wilnitsky:

It really looks like Stefanie,although I would regard her as thinner than in this portrait...but I also think that this is someone somehow connected to the Bavarian family...
Iam inclined to believe it is Queen Estefania of Portugal. In this picture she wears what looks to be the same dress and pearl necklace.

Today I was looking for pictures of Archduke Friedrich's grandchildren. I found a very nice photograph whose caption says: "Friedrich's nine grandchildren. Preßburg (?), ca. 1915", but I wasn't able to identify the children.
Marie
Thanks, Sveta. So we have from left to right: Isabelle, Rosemary and Nikolaus Salm Salm, the mysterious boy, three unknown children, Elisabeth Hohenlohe and another unknown boy. Do you have any idea concerning these other "unknown" children?
The dark-haired boy seems to have spent a lot of time with Friedrich's grandchildren, but I also don't think that he is one of them. He resembles Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, but he isn't a Wittelsbach.
The little girl (fourth from right) looks quite pretty, a bit frail. Who could she be? Maybe one of the Parmas? I guess that the boys next to her are her brothers as they were the same shirts and shoes.
--------------
By the way: Do you have pictures of Maria Anna's children you are willing to share? I would love to see them. Especially Francesca seemed to have been a very cute little girl.
Who could she be?

I'll be very glad, if somebody could indentify this lady, possibly an austrian countess. Any ideas are welcome! Thanks
Really ? She does look Austrian or Bavarian to me.
Actually she doesn't look like any Archduchess or Bavarian Princess. The style of the dress and hair-do are from 1877-1880 years.
No, no, I'm sure she is NOT an Archduchess, and definitely not Marie Christine... she could be a countess, I think, and I hoped somebody knows her.
She s Maria Christine, for sure. Look more pic of her in her younger days
Is this Christina of spain?
http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo319/DonaIsabella/NOV6_0090.jpg
yes she is ;-)
No, no, I'm sure she is NOT an Archduchess, and definitely not Marie Christine... she could be a countess, I think, and I hoped somebody knows her.
Would you please have a look at this ebay auction? The CDV is supposed to show Archduchess Marie Valérie. It's not her, that's for sure. I'm quite convinced that she is neither a family member of the Habsburgs nor the Wittelsbachs.

Looks very much like Archduchess Maria Theresia, daughter of Archduke Albrecht and wife of Duke Philipp of Wurttemberg.
where did you find this photo ? Ebay ?
If they are Habsburgs (but I am not sure), it could be only the younger children of Archduke Karl Habsburg-Teschen, no other Habsburg children pass to the year 1836. Are there any pictures of Karl´s children to compare?
Hello!
This is a cabinet for sale on ebay, with ID: Maria Theresa of Braganza archduchess of Austria. Dear Katenka (Fyodorovna) thinks she´s not Maria Theresa. I was sure she was Maria Theresa or maybe one of her sisters -a see a strong resemblance. Maybe anyone could help...
;)

Thanks, Rani. I really believe she´s Maria Theresa, but she could be also one of her sisters. Maria das Neves had a very strong resemblance to Maria Theresa...
It's Marie Therese, Karl Ludwig's third wife. I have another photo of this sitting. Maybe I have enough time to post it later.
Not even just the face or part of the dress? Again, im with Svetabel, No resemblance at all between the real archduchess and this lady.

I'm sorry. When I wrote that I was in possession of another photo of this sitting, I didn't remember that it was one of the photos I got from a friend's collection. She doesn't want me to publish it, because she also thinks that it's a rare one of young Marie Therese.
I am not absolutely sure anymore, but I still think she's Marie Therese or at least one of her sisters.
Again, I can't imagine her to be one of the Thurn und Taxis girls.
I think it´s Elisabeth Charlotte (1922-1997) youngest daughter of Emperor Karl and Empress Zita, but I´m not sure.
Good god, the last lady looks like Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria in costume!!
Photographer Rosa Jenik was real, not an alias. She was active in Vienna from 1865 to 1900 aproximately.
If it's really Ferdinand as a drag queen, then that picture is really awesome!
Here are some pictures of Beladona...she is interested in anyone can help her identifying persons in the pictures...First,a picture of Countess Hoyos with Archduchess Margarethe...which Countess Hoyos is this?

And most interesting that it seems to have been taken by a k.k. Hoffotografin - female court photographer.Well, she was not the only female photographer. There were a few real good ones. Think of Adèle aka Adèle Perlmutter. She was very famous.

sometimes they just invent a royal procedence to got more money from the item. Its seems thats a common practice on ebay....
Hello,
Mostly I'm able to find confirmation in books or reliable sites about the identity of a sitter but I'm having problems with this one ....
I believe it's the Erzherzogin Gisela in early youth.
Does anybody know where I can confirm this ? (book or reliable website ?)
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~eastwin/cdv214-11.jpg)
Thank you for your help !
Jan
Title says:"Unknown member of the Habsburg family" in the uniform of Lieutenant,second half of 19th century?Located in Stift Wilten,if that helps...
Anyone's guess who could it be?
The standing woman is indeed Marie Caroline. The sitting is Queen Maria Teresa of the 2 Sicilies, widow of Ferdinando II.Thanks !!
Hello,
It came with other photos on the Habsburgs.
I have found one or two photos of Elisabeth or Marie Sophia where she looks quite the same but which were not convincing me.
It is -by the way- a cdv by Adolf Ost, Wien.
Ofcourse it's possible it got mixed up with the Habsburg cdv's by mistake !

I hope I post this properly. I have a pretty good eye for faces. I believe this photo is NOT Maria Therese of Portugal. I am going to work on finding out who it is. Photo is also listed in another site as making the same claim. Grand Ladies posts http://www.gogmsite.net/the-bustle-eras-1870-1890/subalbum-infanta-maria-tere/archduchess-maria-teresa-by.html
We did discuss that photo once. The opinions were different, and I do think that's not Maria Therese, I even thought about a Thurn and Taxis Princess - but still not sure...
Wel..someone in foros dinastia has posted this pictyure as Franz Karl, father of Franz Joseph I. I do not believe its him, what do you say?
