Ten Days in Bosnia: Madame de Kallay, 1895. Portrait of Countess Vilma Bethlen de Bethlen, wife of Béni Kállay. '[At Sarajevo] is the house of M. de Kallay [administrator of the Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina], who spends a few months every year in Bosnia, and is invariably accompanied by the Baroness [ie Countess], whose many graces and unflinching courage are famous in all Austria. It was this lady who insisted on accompanying her husband to Mostar when insurrection threatened early in this decade, and not only accompanied him, but went without escort, to the complete subjection of the émeute [riot] and the amazement of her friends. She is now the most popular woman in the two provinces, and she has carried to the Damascus of the West those brilliant social functions and splendid receptions which are characteristic of her house in Vienna'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
