Irma Ingertha Gram
Irma Ingertha Gram, née Schram (21 December 1873 – 22 November 1945) was a Norwegian art historian.
Personal life
She was born in Kristiania[1] as a daughter of Thomas Andreas Schram (1835–1890) and Mathilde Just (1850–1901). She was a sister of businessperson Jacob Schram and physician Thomas Schram, and thus sister-in-law of Constance Wiel Schram.
In September 1907 she married physician Harald Mathias "Mads" Gram, a son of Jens Gram and maternal grandson of P. A. Munch.[2][3][4] Her older sister Elisabeth had already married Mads' brother Johan Fredrik Gram.[5]
Mads and Irma's son Peder "Per" Gram became a barrister and married alpine skier Johanne "Hannemor" Dybwad, a daughter of Niels Juell Dybwad and granddaughter of Johanne Dybwad. They had the daughter Kari Garmann.[6][7][8]
Career
As an art historian, Gram published books on ancient bobbin lace; De gamle kniplingers historie (1921), and a book on etiquette; Litt om skikk og bruk før og nu (1929).[1] She was employed at the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History from 1903 to 1907.[9] She also profiled several royals for a Norwegian audience, in Dronning Christina av Sverige (1924, about Christina I of Sweden), and Catharina av Medici (1927, about Catherine de' Medici).[1][10] She also contributed to the press and to Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation radio.
She was also a board member of Læseforening for kvinder from 1921.[9] She died in November 1945.[11]
