| Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (later, Queen Mary) Byrne & Co., 1887 The Royal Collection |
Ah, Mary of Teck. She was a handsome young woman. While still Princess of Wales, Victoria Mary of Teck was photographed by Byrne & Co. (active 1880-1900). Upon becoming Queen Consort in 1910, she dropped the name “Victoria,” and in doing so, picked up a lot of art and antiques. Curiously, she also seemed to keep a lot of pictures of herself as well.
