Below I posted a sketch of the gift given to Queen Maud by Madame Emma Albani Gye, a famous Opera singer.
As she is not well known today, I thought some might be interested to read about her.
The gift to Queen Maud
From Emma Albani Gye (source RCIN 2907262) https://www.rct.uk/collection/2907262/madam-albani-gye-1847-1930
The link to the Royal Collection provides some information about her.
Also see the more detailed entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/lajeunesse_emma_15E.html
