John Frederick Lewis, Jr., Philadelphia (1899-1968). John Frederick Lewis, Jr., was a lawyer and philanthropist whose family were leading figures in the cultural life of Philadelphia. In 66 years his accomplishments and service to the City of Philadelphia left an enduring impact. Board Memberships included the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (President 1944-58), the Academy of Music, The Free Library of Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania, Board of Libraries, the University Museum, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Zoological Society, Fairmount Park Art Association and many others. He was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in February 1924, married Ada H. Haeseler on 30 June, 1925 and with her had three children. He loved collecting quality objects and attended many auctions - over fifty Parke Bernet catalogues with careful notes were kept, which were a great resource in the research and cataloguing of this distinguished group of objects. Ranging from jades, porcelains, bronzes, books, and illuminated manuscripts the depth of his curiosity, interest and passion in the arts of Asia were evident in his collection.
