Simon Gratz (1840-1925), the third Simon in a line of Simon Gratzes stemming from the Michael Gratz branch of this notable Philadelphia Jewish family, was an autograph and art collector of astonishing scope. By the end of his life, his collection numbered some 175,000 items. Gratz deeded this collection to the Historical Society of Philadelphia.
