British banker and zoologist ( 1868-1937 ) The Right Honourable The Lord Rothschild FRS Member of Parliament for Aylesbury In office 6 January 1899 - 10 January 1910 Preceded by Ferdinand James von Rothschild Succeeded by Lionel Nathan de Rothschild Personal details Born Lionel Walter Rothschild 8 February 1868 London , England Died 27 August 1937( 1937-08-27 ) ( aged 69 ) Tring , Hertfordshire , England Political party Liberal Unionist Conservative ( after 1912 ) Relatives Rothschild Family Education University of Bonn Magdalen College , Cambridge Occupation * Banker * Politician * Zoologist * Soldier Military service Allegiance United Kingdom Branch/service Territorial Army Rank Major Lionel Walter Rothschild , 2nd Baron Rothschild , Baron de Rothschild , FRS ( 8 February 1868 - 27 August 1937 ) was a British banker , politician , zoologist , and soldier , who was a member of the Rothschild family . As a Zionist leader , he was presented with the Balfour Declaration , which pledged British support for a Jewish national home in Mandatory Palestine . Rothschild was the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews from 1925 to 1926 . Early life Walter Rothschild was born in London as the eldest son and heir of Emma Louise von Rothschild and Nathan Rothschild , 1st Baron Rothschild , an immensely wealthy financier of the international Rothschild financial dynasty and the first Jewish peer in England . The eldest of three children , Walter was deemed to have delicate health and was educated at home . As a young man , he travelled in Europe , attending the University of Bonn for a year before entering Magdalene College , Cambridge . In 1889 , leaving Cambridge after two years , he was required to go into the family banking business to study finance . At the age of seven , he declared that he would run a zoological museum and , as a child , he collected insects , butterflies , and other animals . Among his pets at the family home in Tring Park were kangaroos and exotic birds . As a boy , Rothschild was once dragged off his horse and assaulted by workmen while on a hunting ride near Tring , an experience he attributed to antisemitism . At 21 , he reluctantly went to work at the family bank , N M Rothschild & Sons in London . He worked there from 1889 to 1908 . He evidently lacked any interest or ability in the financial profession , but it was not until 1908 , at the age of 40 , that he was finally allowed to give it up . However , his parents established a zoological museum as a compensation and footed the bill for expeditions all over the world to seek out animals . Rothschild was 6 ft 3 in ( 1.91 m ) tall , suffered from a speech impediment , and was very shy , but he had his photograph taken riding on a giant tortoise and drove a carriage harnessed to four zebras to Buckingham Palace to prove that zebras could be tamed . Though he never married , Rothschild had two mistresses , one of whom bore him a daughter . Olga Alice Muriel Rothschild who would marry Richard Yarde-Buller , 4th Baron Churston and be Baroness Churston ^ : 98 Zoological career See also : Category:Taxa named by Walter Rothschild Rothschild with his famed zebra ( Equus quagga ) carriage , which he drove to Buckingham Palace to demonstrate the tame character of zebras to the public Lord Rothschild on a giant tortoise Rothschild studied zoology at Magdalene College , Cambridge . Meeting Albert Günther sparked his interest in the taxonomy of birds and butterflies . Although Rothschild himself travelled and collected in Europe and North Africa for many years , his work and health concerns limited his range , and beginning while at Cambridge he employed others ( explorers , professional collectors , and residents ) to collect for him in remote and little-known parts of the world . He also hired taxidermists , a librarian , and , most importantly , professional scientists to work with him to curate and write up the resulting collections : Ernst Hartert , for birds , from 1892 until his retirement at the age of 70 in 1930 and Karl Jordan for entomology , from 1893 until Rothschild 's death in 1937 . At its largest , Rothschild 's collection included 300,000 bird skins , 200,000 birds ' eggs , 2,250,000 butterflies , and 30,000 beetles , as well as thousands of specimens of mammals , reptiles , and fishes . They formed the largest zoological collection ever amassed by a private individual . The Rothschild giraffe ( Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi ) , a subspecies with five ossicones instead of two , was named after him . Another 153 insects , 58 birds , 17 mammals , three fish , three spiders , two reptiles , one millipede , and one worm also carry his name . Rothschild opened his private museum in 1892 . It housed one of the largest natural history collections in the world and was open to the public . In 1932 , he was forced to sell the vast majority of his bird collection to the American Museum of Natural History after he had been blackmailed by a former mistress . In 1933 , he was one of eleven people involved in the appeal that led to the foundation of the British Trust for Ornithology ( BTO ) , an organization for the study of birds in the British Isles . On his death in 1937 , his museum and all of its contents were given in his will to the British Museum ( of which the Natural History Museum , London was then a part ) , the greatest accession that the institution has ever received . The Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum at Tring is now a division of the Natural History Museum . Following a visit to Hungary in 1902 , Rothschild brought six live edible dormice ( Glis glis ) back to Tring . Some of them escaped and started breeding successfully in the wild . They have now become a localized pest over an area of approximately 200 square miles in a triangle between Luton , Aylesbury , and Beaconsfield , and there are estimated to be at least 10,000 of them . Even though considered an invasive species , they are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 . Rothschild was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Giessen in 1898 , was elected a Trustee of the British Museum in 1899 , and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1911 . Political career Rothschild caricatured by Spy for Vanity Fair , 1900 Walter Rothschild was a Liberal Unionist Party Member of Parliament for Aylesbury from 1899 until he retired from politics at the January 1910 general election . Military activities Despite his health , Rothschild served part-time as an officer in a Territorial Army unit , the Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry , where he was a captain from July 1902 until he was promoted to major in 1903 , before retiring in 1909 . Zionism and Balfour Declaration Further information : Balfour Declaration As an active Zionist and a close friend of Chaim Weizmann , he worked to formulate the draft declaration for a Jewish homeland in British Mandate-Palestine . On 2 November 1917 , he received a letter from the British foreign secretary , Arthur Balfour , addressed to his London home at 148 Piccadilly . In the letter , the British government declared its support for the establishment in Palestine of " a national home for the Jewish people " . The letter became known as the Balfour Declaration . Peerage Bookplate designed by Charles William Sherborn Walter inherited the British peerage title " Baron Rothschild " from his father Nathan Mayer Rothschild , 1st Baron Rothschild in 1915 . He died in 1937 at Tring Park , Hertfordshire , aged 69 , and was buried in Willesden Jewish Cemetery , London . He had no legitimate children and his younger brother Charles Rothschild had predeceased him , so the title was inherited by his nephew ( Nathaniel Mayer ) Victor Rothschild . Furthermore , he also inherited the title " Baron de Rothschild " ( Freiherr von Rothschild ) of the Austrian nobility , which was an authorized title in the United Kingdom by Warrant of 27 April 1932 . In 1838 , Queen Victoria had authorized the use of this Austrian title in the United Kingdom . Ancestry Ancestors of Walter Rothschild , 2nd Baron Rothschild 8 .
