[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.]: William Thompson Walters (May 23, 1820 - November 22, 1894) was an American businessman and art collector, whose collection formed the basis of the Walters Art Museum. He was born in Liverpool, Pennsylvania in 1820. He moved to Baltimore in 1841, where he worked as a grain merchant and in 1847 established himself there as a liquor wholesaler. His success in business secured, he turned to art collection, purchasing contemporary American and European works. During the American Civil War, he lived in Paris. He traveled widely in Europe and purchased numerous additions for his collection. Returning to the United States after the end of hostilities, he invested his money into banking and railroads. He also began to collect Asian art, alongside contemporary paintings. His private collection became one of the largest and most valuable in the United States. From 1874 onwards, Walters opened his house in Mount Vernon Place to the public most springs, with a 50 cent entrance fee going towards charity. This annual exhibit of his gallery netted $30,000 for the poor of Baltimore. At his death in 1894, Walters' collection passed to his son, Henry Walters, who expanded it and founded the Walters Gallery (now the Walters Art Museum). This is an antique printing. It is not a modern re-print.
