From an esteemed American collection; former Lord William Tyssen-Amherst (1835-1909) collection Tyssen-Amherst is chiefly remembered as a collector of books, manuscripts, antique furniture and other works of art. He became famous for his Egyptian collection, for which he built a museum in Didlington Hall, his country home. In the early 1900s, he was unfortunately forced to sell large parts of his collection... after discovering that his estate and certain trust funds had been entirely dissipated at the hands of an untrustworthy solicitor.
