Dates:
Birth 1865
Death 1953

Biographical notes:

Samuel Augustine Courtauld (1865-1953) was the eldest surviving son of George Courtauld and was for many years a director of Courtaulds Ltd (formerly Samuel Courtauld & Co). He devoted his ample fortune and leisure to public service and philanthropic works in Essex and at the Middlesex Hospital. He edited others translations of Horace, whose writings were a shared enthusiasm with Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), the author. Courtauld spoke to the Kipling Society in 1933 on Kipling's literary allusions, a text of which is in the Kipling papers from Wimpole Hall, but without any correspondence (SxMs 38/27/13).
