Albert Alexander Vincenz, Baron von Margutti. Born November 28, 1869. Died January 3, 1940.
Albert, a first cousin of our grandfather Louis Margutti, served in the court of the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary for about 17 years, and in the court of the Emperor Karl until the Austrian-Hungarian Empire was dissolved at the end of World War I. He became one of Franz Joseph’s personal aides.
Towards the end of his service, Albert was granted the title of Baron von Margutti. This picture was taken near the beginning of his service, in September 1902, and given to “Tante Laure” (Laura Chartrey).
