Danneborg paddle steamer, Danish Royal yacht (1882-1932). Prior to the 1907 reconstruction.
"Denmark can claim the most modern paddle steamer built in Europe for royal use and the last such vessel to be decommissioned Dannebrog entered royal service in 1880. She is seen above in 1913 after a major reconstruction in 1907 when she was lengthened, re-engined and received a second funnel. She was replaced in 1932 by a diesel-engined screw ship of the same name and was scrapped during 1934." Source: http://www.paddlesteamers.info/HistoricalDatabase.htm

Photographed in the garden of Appleton House, their country residence; signed. In July 1896, Princess Maud of Wales married her first cousin, Prince Carl of Denmark. Appleton House, on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, was given to the newlyweds as a wedding present from Maud's parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales. In a letter to his brother-in-law, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, the Prince of Wales wrote: "I have given Maud and Charles a small house, their own country retreat – about one mile from here – they will always have a pied-à-terre when they come over to England. I know they will appreciate this very much.”
Maud loved Appleton House. “Our little house is a perfect paradise, it all seems like a dream, that we are here at last, that it is so beautiful and light, every single room is so clean and fresh and such wonderful care has been taken of my things, as we have two very able maids who are here year-round.” The house was not very grand. It had twenty rooms, four of which were sitting rooms, as well as a conservatory, and was situated in parkland. The Prince of Wales had designed a garden for the house, and Queen Maud enjoyed taking walks through the manicured lawn. Maud and Carl, who was elected as King of Norway in 1905, were living at Appleton House, when she gave birth in 1903 to the couple's only child, Prince Alexander, whose name was changed to Olav two years later.
After Queen Maud's death, King Haakon returned Appleton House to George VI. In January 1939, Crown Prince Olav visited Appleton House to "express his gratitude" to Appleton House's British staff for their "faithful service" to Queen Maud.
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth stayed at Appleton during a visit to Norfolk during the second world war. Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret also stayed at Appleton House, when they visited Sandringham during this time.
Queen Mary stayed at Appleton in 1946 and 1947. After this, Appleton ceased to be a royal residence. It fell into disrepair and was surrounded by an air-raid structure that was built during World War II. By the 1960s, it was deemed to be too expensive to remove the structure, and in July 1984, Appleton House was torn down.
Another royal residence, York House, once the Sandringham residence of King George V and Queen Mary before his succession to the throne is now used for offices.
The Court Circular notes that Queen Mary stayed at Appleton House several times after the war. The official Norwegian royal site also has information on Appleton House. The quotes come from this site as well as several biographies.

Ludwik Szaciński de Ravics (born 15 or 16 April 1844 in Suwałki in Russian Poland , died 8 July 1894 in Christiania ) was a photographer in Christiania and one of the leading portrait photographers in Norway at the end of the 19th century.Ludwik Szaciński was born in the north of the Russian part of Poland ; he was the fourth of ten children of Feliks and his wife Jozefa née Frydrych. The Szaciński family had come to Suwalki from Lithuania.
Ludwik went to cadet school in Warsaw , and was there when the January Uprising against the Russians broke out in 1863. He took part in the uprising as a second lieutenant. He was captured and sentenced to death. He escaped under dramatic circumstances; he was wounded in the foot during the escape and spent a few years on the run in several countries in Europe.
In Sweden, he is said to have made a living as a dog trainer at the court of King Karl IV in Stockholm until he came to Norway in 1865. He was poor and came with all his possessions on a cart.
For the first couple of years he made a living as a traveling photographer and in 1867 he established his own studio at Rådhusgata 11 in Christiania. The studio was later moved to Stortorvet / Karl Johans gate .
Szaciński became a highly sought-after photographer and he portrayed many of the famous people of the day. He had an almost complete collection of the representatives of the Storting and in 1888 he became the royal court photographer. His work gave him a number of international photography awards, including from Paris , Vienna , Dresden , Philadelphia and from Christiania.
When the Photographic Society was founded in March 1882, he was elected chairman. He was otherwise active in hunting and outdoor life as well as spiritualism and hypnosis. However, it was known that he never thrived in Norway and always remained a refugee. He committed suicide on Ormøya outside Christiania. [1]
The company was continued under the same name by the widow Hulda Szaciński until 1916.
Tilraales REIMERT KEHLET (1885-1971), Stella Nova Studios, Copenhagen, Denmark, Danish Photographer, glass photo negatives double image plates of babies.
Dimensions: width: 3.5 inches; height: 4.75 inches
Barnboard Antiques, Price:$42.13 (eBay. 5/2023).
This is an amazing and very rare antique find dating back to the very early 1900s - probably around 1910. I have found 4 antique glass photo negatives - dry plates - each of two babies (might be twins and might be royalty). The photos were been taken by Reimert Kehlet, Danish portrait photographer.
Reimert Kehlet lived from 1885 to 1971. His studio was in Copenhagen, opened in the early 1900s - Stella Nova Studios. Reimert Kehlet (or his company) photographed the fine photograph that was the template for the 1935 election poster "Stauning - or Chaos". Kehlet is also known for his pictures of King Frederik IX, Queen Ingrid and their girls.
