How the Delaware Art Museum became a British Art Powerhouse

Sophie Lynford shares the story of how the Delaware Art Museum came to hold the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art outside of the United Kingdom. Most Pre-Raphaelite art can be found in Britain. But during the late 19th century, Samuel Bancroft, an American textile mill owner in Wilmington, Delaware, began acquiring Pre-Raphaelite drawings and paintings. In 1935, Bancroft’s heirs bequeathed his art to what would become the Delaware Art Museum, thus making Wilmington a destination for enthusiasts of British art.
