Selected Works from The Jade Collection ofSir William Cornelius Van Horne(b. February 3, 1843 – d. September 11, 1915)lots 1-10

Sir William Cornelius Van Horne was born to a family ofmodest means near Frankfurt, Illinois. At the age of 14 hetook a small job working with the Michigan Central Railroaduntil 1864 when, at the age of 21, he obtained a job asgeneral superintendent for the

Chicago and Alton Railway. The company had a feeder lineto Ontario, Canada, where he would eventually be noticed bythe management of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Van Hornewas made general manager of the Canadian Pacific railwayin 1882 and was promoted to vice president within twoyears, seeing the Canadian transcontinental line completedin that time. He became president of the railway in 1888 andsoon purchased the stately mansion in Montreal’s “goldensquare mile” that would house his lauded collections of fineEuropean paintings and rare furniture and antiques.

Through his voyages to Asia, Van Horne developed a keeninterest in Asian art and antiques. He acquired many fineobjects of Chinese and Japanese origin, utilizing theconsulting services of a number of experts such as Japaneseantiques dealer Bunkio Matsuki (1867-1941), who alsosupplied works of art to Mr. Charles Lang Freer (The FreerGallery of Art) and Dr. Edward Sylvester Morse (1838-1925)from Boston, Massachusetts, whose own notable collectionis held in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and TheSmithsonian's Freer & Sackler Gallery.

Not only did Sir William Van Horne oversee the completionof Canada's first transcontinental rail line, he also launchedthe Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. The company'sthree flagships were among the most opulent in the world.Additionally, Van Horne and the Canadian Pacific Companyestablished the Canadian Pacific Hotel Group whose BanffSprings Hotel became an icon of Canadian elegance andnatural wonder. Sir William Van Horne was honored with aknighthood and memorialized in Canada, most notably at theMcCord Museum of Montreal that maintains an archive ofVan Horne's life and legacy.
