Superb unsigned sepia toned portrait photo by Vandyk

Carl VANDYK
(1851-1931) was a successful London Photographer. He was born in Bunde, Germany. From 1882 he owned a studio at Gloucester Road taking images of the British Royal Family including Queen Victoria, King George V as well as other notables such as Alexander I of Yugoslavia, Christian X of Denmark, Buffalo Bill and Enrico Caruso. From 1901 the studio moved to Buckingham Palace Road, London.
The Strathmore Rose Tiara is one of the more unusual floral pieces in the Royal Collection and it hasn't been seen in public for years. Her parents gave it to her in 1923 when she married the Duke of York. It was bought from Catchpole and Williams and made in England in the late nineteenth century.
