No title. Hand-written pencil: on underlying cardboard: Portrait of Baroness Jeszenszky-Zichy

And: Vice. Schramm = Victor Schramm, also Viktor Schramm (1865-1929)

Below portrait, centrally placed is dry stamp by famous artist and photographer Franz Hanfstaengl (1804-1877)

We were unable to identify baroness Jeszenszky. Both, the family names of Jeszenszky and Zichy are Hungarian nobility. With the dry stamp of Hanfstaengl on the photographic portrait, this photograph must have been taken before his death, i.e. before 1877. Does any of the readers of this know more?

The photograph has been trimmed to oval shape and mounted on Hanfstaengl's own workshop cardboard.

The portrait in very good condition. The surrounding cardboard shows traces of age and use.

"When Glenn Curtiss Astounded the World on a Decoration Day Twenty Years Ago"

Original photograph printed May 30, 1930. Photo is mounted on dark green carton.
Photo is very clear. Light waves in outer areas.
Under the plane in the lower left area is a small white rubbed area.

Here is more of the text on reverse side:

"Albany N.Y. .... The motored "Box Kite" taking off amid the handwavings of friends, as Glenn H. Cartiss made his special flight down the Hudson on a Decoration Day twenty years ago. The plane made better time than even the Twentieth Century and the worls was astonished and thrilled by the thought. Today, following a luncheon given in his honor by the albany Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Curtiss will again pilot his plane over the same record-breaking course from Albany to Govenors Island. There will be striking contrast however. Mr. Cutiss will pilot a Huge twenty-passenger Curtiss Condor that will epitomize the progress of air traffic. Other planes will accompany him on the flight."

This must have been Curtiss' last flight or one of his last flights (on May 30, 1930).
Curis died on July 23, 1930 after appendix surgery of a heart attack.
