Background
Thyra was the youngest daughter and fifth child of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel. In 1878, she married Ernest Augustus, the exiled heir to the Kingdom of Hanover. As the Kingdom of Hanover had been annexed by Prussia in 1866, she spent most of her life in exile with her husband in Austria. The photographer is Adèle Perlmutter-Heilperin (1845–1905), a pioneering female photographer who established the highly successful Atelier Adèle in Vienna. She was renowned for her portraits of the Viennese elite and was appointed the Imperial Court photographer.
