Stockholm, Sweden

Here, Wilhelmina is wearing full gala clothing with a bustle dress and the whole mosaic garniture – bracelet, pendant, brooch and hairpins. The photograph was taken by Gösta Florman some time after 1874.

The bracelet consists of five plates with floral motifs. Together with the appended brooch and the pendant, this was given to Wilhelmina as a Christmas gift by Walther in 1870. He had bought the plates in Switzerland, which were otherwise commonly available as souvenirs for tourists.
