Mathilde LINDPAINTNER
(1851-1942, née Martins de Almeida, wife, 1879, of the Bavarian Oberstleutnant Ludwig Lindpaintner, 1849-1896), "with remembrances and good wishes", in a circular print 6 inches diameter on card mount 19" x 13¾", Florence, 7th September

Mathilde Lindpaintner
was half Portuguese, half Bavarian - her mother's father was Prince Karl, second son of King Maximilian I of Bavaria.
