EVEN LATER.
The Rudolph was transfered to 'Yugoslavia' post-war and became Kumbar. She was scrapped 1922/3

The best way to get many photos of this ship and her sisters is buying the book Die Schiffe der k.(u.)k. Kriegsmarine im Bild, Band 1, 1848-1895, by L.Baumgartner and E.Sieche.
It's quite expensive, luxurious album full of wonderful pics.
I would help you with my copy but unfortunately I have only part two concerning years 1896-1918, because earlier years are out of my interest sphere:(:(

I have seen them for sale [new] at 113 euros for the pair.
Can you get the text in english?

The book is bilingual (German-English), expensive but worth of every penny spent on it! There are also others but in German only:(

Original title is The ships of Imperial and Royal Navy in pictures, part one.

BTW. I have also some other books dedicated to Austrian-Hungarian Navy and its ships.
All of them are wonderfully edited.
There is a group of enthusiasts of this subject in Austria and the fruits of their research are published from time to time and they are little pearls of my library.

I'd like every Navy had such a group:cool:
