Henry-Louis de La Grange’s Médiathèque Musicale Mahler has circulated a long-rumoured photograph of Gustav Mahler being stretchered off a train on his final arrival in Vienna on May 12, 1911.

The pap shot was published in the Austrian newspaper Das Interessante Blatt on May 18, the day Mahler died.

No Mahler expert of my long acquaintance had ever seen this picture.
