A stylish and elegant princess Amelie in Bayern born Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
What an amazing picture! I have never seen a photo of Amélie which was taken shortly before her death. She reminds me a lot of her mother Clémentine and her sister Clotilde who also gained weight in their later years.
Amélie wrote "1893" on the photo. So I guess it must have been taken before June, because on 12 June 1893 her husband Max Emanuel died. As a widow she wouldn't have worn such an elegant dress, would she?
Or was the photo really done in 1892 as Therry wrote and Amélie dedicated it to her aunt ("Für die theuere Tante") one year later?
