In fact, Lory, I thought about this image cause i knew she looked like someone i know and she resembles a bit the famous courtesan Cora Pearl

Thank You Svetabel and Carolah ( CIAO ) Should I tell my friends not to bid

Can anyone identify these noble ladies? The photos are coming from a photo album from a noble household and on the back of the photos there is written 'Princess Bourbon'. The photographer is LeJeune in Naples.

[Carolath Habsburg]

Heinrich XIII or something got these one on Ebay for sale, but, He often sell mislabeled images. Maybe they are part of some noble family of Naples?

[Zukunftsseele]

I'm not sure this time. I think I have seen them before.

I remember the original ebay listing of these CDVs. There was no mention of an album of noble procedence in it.

[Carolath Habsburg]

There was a backside scan of the image? Maybe they  had written  "Naples princesses" on the backside , when they only was part of some noble family of that city? Im trying to be optimistic , lol

I remember the original ebay listing of these CDVs. There was no mention of an album of noble procedence in it.

Oh, it IS mentioned. I still have access to the original listing as the I am the buyer. I can get you a screenshot if you want.

I guess they were labelled wrong already in the album. They are definitely not Princesses of Bourbon but certainly members of a noble or at least wealthy family.
So I would have bought them anyway, I just wanted to check if anyone knows about them or which noble Italian family they are from.

[Carolath Habsburg]

Even if they re not princesses, those are beautiful images!

I meant this first listing, by piksplus

And I got them from heinrichixx or whatever his name is. He must have got them from piksplus and later claimed they were from a noble family album. Now THAT is interesting, hehe. He is mostly claiming to get his cards, photos, memorabilia, etc. from noble families which is apparantly not always the case. He lately bought a few royalty cards from me, too and re-sold them. And I AM definitely not a noble woman. lol It's sad how some people try to make money with such methods. Anyway, like CarolathHabsburg said, the images are beautiful and I'm glad I got them for my collection. And thanks Veronica for the info! :-)

[Clelia]

You're welcome! And of course your CDVs are beautiful, that's why I remembered the very first listing, because I liked them very much in that ocassion :-)
About heinrichxx, this is not the first time that he sells pictures of common people, bought from other ebay sellers, claiming that they are royal or noble. It's really sad...

Said to be Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma wearing diamnod tiara,but I doubt it:

Who could it be?

[Carolath Habsburg]

IMHO looks like Kaiserin Augusta Viktoria of Prussia or her sister Louise Sophie.

I'd say Augusta Viktoria.
