Thomas Tapling
Thomas Keay Tapling (30 October 1855 – 11 April 1891) was an English businessman and politician. He played first class cricket and was also an eminent philatelist who formed one of the greatest stamp collections of his era.
== Early life ==
Tapling was born in Dulwich, London.〔"Tapling – The Man Behind the Collection" by Ron Negus in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol.116, No.1343, March 2007, pp.39–47.〕 He was educated first at home and then at Harrow School from age 15. Later he attended Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating BA and LL.B in 1880 and MA and LL.M in 1883. His father, also Thomas Tapling, was a businessman who made a fortune from the manufacture of carpets and household furnishings.〔(One-Name Study: Tupling )〕 His mother was Annie Elizabeth Tapling (née Keay).〔
Tapling originally intended a career in law, and he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple as a Barrister.〔
In 1882, however, Thomas Tapling senior died and his son was forced to drop his plans and take over the family business of Thomas Tapling & Son.〔 This does not appear to have been a burden and the business prospered and expanded, providing him with the money to travel and build his stamp collection. He had a reputation as an enlightened employer, who emphasised temperance and thrift to his employees.〔
