Only known photo of Mozart's widow found

[Trithemius]

The photograph was taken in 1840 in the Bavarian town of Altoetting when she was 78. She died two years later.

The local authorities say detailed examination has proved the authenticity of the image, which is a copy of the original daguerreotype.

Interesting. :)

She looks young for her age considering it was 1840.
