Kira,

please post images via photobucket. com service, for example. Many other services don't work at our Forums. Also you can read the topics about how to post pictures. And you always can send your pictures to a Mod, who post them here. I am ready to help, just send a P.m.

I, too, really like this photo.  All three are at ease and look so unposed.

BTW, with all the magnificent backdrops these - and other aristocrats & royalty - had at their disposal in any of their palaces, I'm always surprised to see a studio shot like this one.  Could it be that, while out and about, they happened upon a photography shop and, on a whim, popped in to have their photo taken?

Wait, is this real?! This photograph doesn't look old.... : O

If it's not photoshopped I'll eat my hat - Felix's shoulders are too blurred and obscured, if you look at Felix's clothes too, on his left breast especially, much detail has been added on at a later date.  His trousers and boots are also the wrong material too. One costume of the men is a lot more new than the other. The shadowing is also a problem so too the lines surrounding the gentleman on the right. Not too sure what the random post near Felix is doing either! Still, pretty cool photo though  I like the effort and the idea

Shall I go and get a hat?

Nope, its not photoshopped. Its actually Felix there, posing with Prince Christopher of Greece

From the National Portrait Gallery website:

Prince Christopher of Greece; Count Gluecksberg

half-plate glass negative, 1900-1925
4 1/2in. x 6 1/4in. (114 mm x 153 mm)

I saw it first on a tumblr page followed by a text from Lost Splendor (Felix's autobiograhy) that describe events related to this photo.

Get a hat!

But...but...why is there a shadow under Prince Christopher's arm and shoulder?!   Haha, well I say, that's me done for! - I'm choosing one for supper right now!



Apologies everybody. How embarrassing!
