could be, but the difference in height between Empr. Elisabeth and her compagnion is off. FJ was not that much taller then his wife.

Got it from: Elisabeth Wunschbilder oder Die Kunst der Retouche by Garda Mraz/Ulla Fischer-Westhauser

They look about the same height to me.

The people on the photo are Franz Josef and Elisabeth (8 June 1886). They are leaving the Badeschloss in Bad Gastein after they have visited emperor Wilhelm I. To honour his guest Franz Josef wears a uniform of his Prussian regiment.

This is a retouched photo from Strelisky, Budapest 1898. The real photo is made by Ludwig Angerer.

A few days ago I wrote to the seller that the girl on the CDV is not Marie Valerie and that there were more people who told the same.
He/she wrote that I was the only one who had written that it was not her and that some other people (the ones that made a bid) were very happy with such a a great find.
