| Description | Certificate for a £20 share in the Australasian Pacific Mail Steam Packet Company issued to Thomas Baring of Bishopgate Street, London, dated 12 October 1852. Engraved with an embossed seal. Thomas Baring (1799-1873), a longtime member of Parliament, belonged to the dynasty that operated London's famous Baring Bank from 1762 to 1995. Baring Bank was long a major force in international finance: it helped finance the Union during the Civil War, financed many U.S. railroads, and finally fell in a massive embezzlement scandal in 1995. Gift of Don Springer, 2006. |
