Books on the Habsburgs

[Zukunftsseele]

The Hamann book and the book by Gerda Mraz have much more to offer. I had expected a lot of the Thiele book but the layout and design is all that's interesting.

Really? I thought it was one of the best books on Elisabeth alongside Elisabeth. Bilder Ihres Lebens by Johannes Thiele,  Elisabeth - Bilder einer Kaiserin. Portraits of an Empress by Brigitte Hamann, and Elisabeth: Prinzessin in Bayern, Kaiserin von Österreich, Königin von Ungarn by Gerda Mraz & Ulla Fischer-Westhauser ...

Bilder einer Kaiserin is a bit disappointing. I have a 1992 Hungarian edition, but I don't think that many things have changed in the new ones. Incorrent dates and attributions, sometimes the quality of the reproductions is poor, too.
Ulla Fischer-Westhauser's book - which corrected many of Hamann's mistakes - is REALLY great, it's sad that the book is based only on the (otherwise stunning) collection of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek. It would be great to expand the research area and include for example the Hungarian montages, paintings, retouched photographs, etchings based on the same originals. There are many...
As a Hungarian art historian I'm working on something similar, I already have some publications about this topic, and I hope that in a few years these researches will lead to a book like Fischer-Westhauser's. Fingers crossed...

Anybody know about this book on Kaiser Karl I?

"Kaiser Karl I. Ein biografischer Bilderbogen"

96 pages, 160 images (black and white), dimensions: 167 x 240 mm, bound, ISBN: 978-3-95400-076-0, publication 01.11.2012



http://www.suttonverlag.at/buch/kaiser_karl_i_978-3-95400-076-0.html

Perhaps someone can tell how similar it is to "Das Familienalbum von Kaiser Karl und Kaiserin Zita" and if it is worth buying at all.

I reviewed this book for my blog last year. It's a nice little book.
There are not only many Pictures of Karls Family (and Zitas) also some documents in it.
The book doesn't end with Kaiser Karls death, one of the last photos is of Karl Habsburg (grandson of Karl I.) and his son Ferdinand (great grandson of Karl I.).

"Kaiser Karl I. Ein biografischer Bilderbogen" is more up to date than - "Das Familienalbum von Kaiser Karl und Kaiserin Zita" which is from 1996.
The format of the Kaiser Karl book is like a normal book, it's not a coffee table book like Das Familienalbum.

Thank you for the response Marie Valerie.

What's the name of your blog? I'd be very interested in viewing it!
