Memory Plates for
Queen Louise, Christian IX and
Frederik VIII
Three related plates, all the same
size and by the same artist, with similar designs, commemorating the deaths of
Queen Louise in 1898, her husband King Christian IX in 1906, and their eldest
son King Frederik VIII in 1912.
CM11: This plate
features a central view of Fredensborg Palace; a crowned monogram formed
of the back to back letters LR (Louise Regina); the inscription "Virtue
and Fidelity"; and the dates of her reign, from her coronation in 1863
until her death in 1898. If her husband Christian IX was the "Grandfather
of Europe", then Queen Louise must have been the "Grandmother of
Europe".
CM 22: This plate features a
view of Amalienborg Palace; a crowned monogram formed of the back to back
letters C9R (Christian IX Rex); the inscription "MED GUD FOR ÆRE OG
RET" (With God for Honor and Right); and the dates of his reign, from his
coronation in 1863 until his death in 1906. Known as the
"Grandfather of Europe", his grandchildren included the King
Christian X of Denmark, King Haakon VII of Norway, King George V of England,
King Constantine I of Greece, and Czar Nicholas II of Russia.
CM 40: This plate features a
view of the Royal Yacht Dannebrog (with flag at half-mast); a crowned monogram
formed of the back to back letter F and the number 8 (Frederik VIII); and the
dates of his reign, from his coronation in 1906 until his death in 1912.
