The former devoted a fortune, which he had gained in mercantile pursuits, to his own and his fellow-men's aesthetic cultivation, and during his busy life collected with much judgment and taste the paintings and statuary which form the nucleus of the Wilstach collection. The latter by economy and thrift so increased the fortune which she inherited from her husband as to enable her not merely to dedicate the collection to the perpetual enjoyment of her city, but also to afford it an endowment for its maintenance and increase such as few public galleries enjoy at the present time." -- From "Catalog of the W.
