That is indeed Amalie. The photo, taken by Camille Silvy, is in the cover of  the "Bourbon Orleans - A family album" by prince Michael of Greece

Really?! I have this book, but I don't have this photo.
Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

Nevermind! I saw a clearer, larger version, and it does look to be Amelie. Sorry.

Can I find this larger version online?

None of the sample images are very rare, but im sure it has some great ones. I cant wait to get it. 60 USD.

I mixed it up with "Mon Album de Famille". Today I ordered "A Family Album". Can't wait to have a closer look at it!

I haven't received "A Family Album" yet, so I can't make a comparison, but "Mon Album de Famille" is such a wonderful book. It contains so many rare and beautiful pictures. The texts are in French.

The older book was a treasure trove of Orleans photos. Arturo Beeche told me he bought much of those photos from an auction. I wonder if he contributed photos to the new book on Orleans published by Ted Rosval ?
