I've seen that picture also in the book of Gerda Mraz. The creator, Josef Kievits tried to blackmail Franz Joseph with it in 1872. He had sent letter in French to Franz Joseph.
The text (I try to translate it from German) was like this:
'Sire!. I have the honour to send you a picture from your wife, that belongs to a collection, that will be sold everywhere. I believe that it will be extremely unpleasant for your Majesty, when this picture is sold. And I have asked the photographer the promise that the negatives will be burned, when within 14 days, until January 6th, 3000 francs in the hands of sir Catelli, as poste restante, is send.'
The picture circulated in Vienna, in spite of the investigation.
On January 12th the policedirection in Wien send Kievits, alias Catteli, an anonymus tip that he was discovered. The blackmailer wasn't reported, because there was already a lawsuit against him and they wanted to avoid the attention.
The reaktion of Elisabeth to all this isn't mentioned. But knowing Elisabeth a bit, she may have laughed

Especially when we know Sissi was anorexic much of her life which certainly wasn't the case of the lady! Naked pictures of her sister Marie were also created at that time.
Some people are just bored and don't know what to do with their free time!
