A little-known picture of the Empress, sitting on the left with gray hair. On the back you can see one of her famous Winterhalter-paintings


Last known picture of the Emperor and Empress, taken in Kissingen, 1898. Posted earlier by Princess Susan


The last known picture of the Empress in Territet, together with Countess Irma Sztaray



The ensemble the Empress wore the day she died, september 10th 1898. A mark left by the file can be clearly seen


I've got all pictures and information from the next two books:
'Elisabeth' by Martin Ross.
'Sisi, Haunted by Destiny' by Wim Ewalt.

Both books are only available in dutch I am afraid.

Sorry for the quality of some pictures, I'll try to get them better later.


My scanner is acting up, thus I cannot redo the first picture, shall see if I found a different way to post it.

So you were the one who post it...Thanks....

Didn't we discuss her dress for a while, the one she wore the day she died? On how thin she must have been.

True, but remember that now people often colorise their hair when it starts to turn gray. Back then that was, most likely, not possible.

She's so thin based on the dress Imperial Grounds posted here.
It's also weird to imagine Sissi looking old.

Yes but it would be a shame to live in Austria and not to know your own history...
