Princess Thyra had the good fortune of being the sister of Fabergé's two greatest patrons, Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia and Queen Alexandra of Great Britain.  The giving of presents among them was a strong tradition, with every occasion commemorated with the exchange of small, luxurious things.  Princess Thyra amassed an impressive collection of Fabergé objects which included a number of small frames in addition to the present lot, pill boxes, gum pots, paper knives, and hardstone animals, which were sold at Sotheby's London in 2008.

Princess Thyra chose an image of her eldest daughter, Princess Marie Louise of Hanover (1879-1948), to place in the frame.  The photograph is her engagement picture, with the groom unceremoniously cropped out.  She married, on 10 July 1900 at Gmunden, Austria-Hungary, Prince Maximilian of Baden (1867-1929), later Margrave of Baden.  The couple were third cousins once removed, sharing descent from Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Princess Friederike of Hesse-Darmstadt.
