This is a photograph taken by Queen Alexandra of England circa 1908. It was published by her in a book 'Queen Alexandra's Christmas Gift Book'. Which she either gave to friends, or sold for charity. The publishers were 'The Daily Telegraph, London' The copyriight is dated 1908. The rights were secured for 'UK, USA, and all countries and colonies' having a treaty with either. This copyright must have expired by 2004. The image I have scanned is from a book owned by me the uploader. Giano 18:16, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
