A well renowned lawyer and financier, William Henry Moore
(1848-1923) came to prominence as one of the creators
of the mass conglomerate United States Steel, as well as
a number of other high profile companies, from the First
National Bank to the National Biscuit Company (‘Nabisco’).
Together with his wife Ada Small Moore (1858-1955), ‘Judge’
– as he was known – amassed a sizable and important
collection of world art including many fine Chinese pieces,
many of which were bequeathed to the Yale University Art
Gallery upon Ada’s death in 1955.
