Description Sir Edgar Speyer
Details

Sir Edgar Speyer (1862-1932), 1st Baronet. American born financier and philanthropist, chairman of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London from 1906 to 1915 and a Privy Councillor. German by birth and education, Speyer endured much criticism and anti-German feeling in the British press, especially from the Morning Post, particularly due to his being a member of a firm based in Frankfurt. He resigned from the Privy Council and eventually left to live in America in May 1915.
