Thank you Bryce.I hadn't noticed what I suspect is simply a typo in the National Portrait Gallery's description. I should have recognised Queen Mary's dress and jewels, as her photograph from the opening of the first Australian Commonwealth Parliament is well known. I am going to blame my faulty memory on the humidity yesterday - very enervating. --Previous Message-- : Also of interest (to me anyway) was the fact : that QM is wearing the white sash of the : Royal Order of Victoria and Albert. : : This photo was looking familiar to me. As : much as the date shown says 1910, I think : that it is from 1901. : : I say this becasue the only time that I : could think of that QM wore this sash was at : the opening of the Australian parliament in : May 1901. : My guess is that she wore it as a tribute to : QV who had died so recently. : : This post, by Nellie, (with a frontal : picture) confirmed my suspitions. : : : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1413763734.html : : Does anyone know of any other time that QM : wore this sash? : :
