Légende

The late Mr. Wynn Ellis, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Mayall, of British businessman, politician and art collector Wynne Ellis who made '...magnificent gift of pictures to the National Gallery and large bequests to charitable institutions...[He] created the finest silk business in London...which culminated in the large establishment of John Howell and Co., Limited...[He] became an M.P., and sat in the House of Commons for eighteen years...Mr. Ellis had a vigorous intellect, was a fluent talker, and, it may be added, a patient listener - not a common characteristic of good talkers. He was a man of strong will and determined character - unostentatious, cautious, moderate, and simple and inexpensive in his habits, and a strict disciplinarian in business...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
