Banking Houses Founded from 1700 to 1899

Banking houses founded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, among them the London merchant bank of the Baring family and the Rothschild bank, which grew into the great private banks of the age of industry and empire. An organization belongs here when its cited article gives a founding or establishment date inside this span. It excludes organizations founded earlier or later, which sit in the neighboring groups of the same kind, and it does not turn on how large or long-lived an organization became. Each member is placed by the founding date stated in the article cited for it, so the grouping rests on a quoted source.
