Portrait of J.P. Morgan, Jr. (1867-1943) in Oxford gown [painting]. [1934]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270755030

The sitter wears his robes of Doctor of Civil Law, and honorary degree conferred by Oxford University in 1930. The younger Morgan had made it possible for the Bodleian Library and the British Museum to purchase two medieval manuscripts, the Bedford "Hours", and the "Luttrell Psalter". The honorary Oxford degree was a gesture of gratitude for saving the manuscripts for England.
