专家说明

Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906) was the granddaughter of Thomas Coutts (1735-1822), founder and, in 1778, sole partner of the London banking firm Coutts & Co., and his first wife Susan Starkie (d. 1815). She used her wealth to amass a large art collection and to fund numerous philanthropic schemes for which she was created a Baroness by Queen Victoria in 1871. She died on December 30, 1906 and her body lay in State for two days, during which time 30,000 people paid their last respects. She was buried in Westminster Abbey on 5 January 1906.
