THYRA (Amelie Caroline Charlotte, 1853-1933, daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, sister of Queen Alexandra) with her two youngest daughters OLGA (1884-1958) & ALEXANDRA (1882-1945)

Marvellous large cabinet photo by Carl Jagerspacher of Vienna, signed by all three, but with Thyra's signature almost indecipherable, showing her seated with her daughters behind her, all three wearing white dresses and hats, 8" x 5½", in charming original gilt frame with ribbon decoration on the top, 9" x 5½", no place, no date, circa

Never as close as her sisters Alexandra & Dagmar were, she increasingly became detached from her family and the fact that her son married the daughter of the last Kaiser of Germany, who both the Empress and the Queen detested, increased her isolation. By the 1920s she became very involved with the dowager Empress and the Anastasia saga.
