About Irma Ingertha Gram

Lived 1873 – 1945 (aged 71). Irma Ingertha Gram was a Norwegian art historian, writer and genealogist.

Irma Ingertha Gram (née Schram; 21 December 1873 – 22 November 1945) was a Norwegian art historian.

Personal life She was born in Kristiania 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. Her older sister Elisabeth had already married Mads' brother Johan Fredrik Gram.

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.

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). 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). She also contributed to the press and to Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation radio.

She was also a board member of Læseforening for kvinder from 1921.
