Some of prints were "imaginary" portraits.

Lovely portrait of a very young Empress Sissi, 1854

The pose is similar to another of Empress Eugenie, her rival empress in France.

That was her big day, being crowned Queen of Hungary.

Love the one on top. Sisi looks good with white and gold.  :)

A black and white verssion of this portrait was posted years ago on the 2nd or 3rd part of the topic, now in color although I know that the verssion isn't as good as I would like...
In a lovely hungarian dress

She looked a bit older in this portrait...

Although I found it labeled as a coronation portrait is noticeable that it really isn't. She was maturer there and the fashion proves it.

Two more portraits...
Queen of Hungary

Another

I think the braid crown on her head remained her hairstyle throughout her last years (so was her sisters Marie, Mathilde and Sophie).

I think there was a photo of Sisi in a plaid (tartan like) dress. That was a true picture of her as a young girl.
