A minor historical figure, Albert was aide de camp to the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph at the time of the outbreak of World War 1. After the war he wrote a book which was published in at least 4 languages: copies can still be found on the second hand market.
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).

I think this is honorary. Probably sold when Albert was "hard up" and now on the market again.

In summary, he is complaining that Lisette has "forgotten" him, asks if she received his last card, and asks if she and her family are going to come to celebrate Christmas with him. He closes by sending his best wishes to his aunt and Victor. This would be the Victor who was Lisette's younger brother.
From Marilyn Pickens (translation of scrapbook(15))
To my very dear cousin, Mrs. Elisabeth Fonte-Margutti, from whom I have just received a new, touching proof of her truly signaled friendship, I dare to present this portrait which shows me in the procession of the Feast of God, June 6th 1912, among the Knights of the Order of the Iron Crown.
The always devoted and forever grateful,
Albert,
Knight Margutti
Vienna, June 30th, 1912
