King Håkon gloves 1940
I have a new contact on Flickr, Riksarkivet (National Archives of Norway). They show lots of interesting, old photos. Today these gloves popped up on my screen. Aren't they amazing?
(For non-norwegian readers: "Alt for Norge" is the king's motto, meaning "All for Norway". The king was Håkon the 7th, hence the monogram, and April 9 was the day Norway was invaded in 1940.)
