Ownership inscriptions of Henry Thomas Whately (1822?-1879) and Austin Lamont (1905-1969)
H. T. Whately
Ch. Ch.
[Henry Thomas Whately (1822?-1879), Christ Church, Oxford. Earned his B.A. in 1845 and M.A. in 1847; vicar of Kington Co., Hereford from 1860 until his death in 1879. His full entry in the Alumni Oxonienses (1715-1886) is here.]
A. Lamont
Probably Austin Lamont (1905-1969), son of Thomas W. Lamont, banker at JP Morgan after whom Harvard's Lamont Library is named. According to this article in Anesthesiology, Austin Lamont was "originally planning to study classic Latin and Greek at the New College, Oxford University, England, [but] he changed his mind while still on the steamship headed for Europe." He instead studied science and became a doctor and professor of anesthesiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (1947-mid1960s).
Austin and his 2nd wife Bodine were Philadelphia elites and associated with other prominent Philadelphians Carl and Laura Zigrosser. Carl Zigrosser was a prints curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and member of the Print Club (Philadelphia). A finding aid to Zigrosser's papers is available here.
