Henry Christy

Henry Christy (26 July 1810 – 4 May 1865) was an English banker and collector, who left his substantial collections to the British Museum.
==Early life==
Christy was born at Kingston upon Thames, the second son of William Miller Christy of Woodbines, a Quaker banker who started out in hat manufacture with interests in Stockport, before becoming a financier.〔Humphrey Lloyd. ''The Quaker Lloyds in the Industrial Revolution 1660-1860'' (2006), p. 285; (Google Books ).〕
Trained to business by his father, Henry Christy became a partner in the house of Christy & Co. in Gracechurch Street, and succeeded his father as a director of the London Joint-Stock Bank. He was still a board member of the bank at the end of his life, despite other activities.〔''The Bankers' Magazine, and journal of the money market'' (1865), p. 180; (archive.org ).〕 Henry contributed to the success of the family firm, known as W. M. Christy & Sons Ltd. once his father took it over. Samples of textiles he brought home from the Ottoman Empire provided the idea for looped cotton towelling, taken up by his brother Richard, and amenable to mechanical manufacture with a technique devised by an employee.〔(John Rylands University Library, ''Papers of W. M. Christy & Sons Ltd''. )〕 Christy also innovated with woven silk rather than beaver for the manufacture of top hats.〔Jonathan C. H. King, ''First Peoples, First Contacts: native peoples of North America'' (1999), p. 218; (Google Books. )〕
