06:35 PM ET

Can you guess who this is and what he was famous for?  Born in 1843 in Buckinghamshire, UK – he considered himself a merchant adventurer – travelling the world importing objects from Japan and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa.   He was very much associated with beautiful textiles that are still sought after, even today.

Think you know who it might be?  Submit your guess in our Comments section, and keep checking back for more clues in the days leading up to Thursday's big Reveal!  If you're the first person to get it right, we'll give you a shout-out during Thursday's BackStory.

      I dont' urnsnetadd why you don't mention that you will remove the option to pay by PayPal. PayPal has been known to be totally horrible with customer service and not responding to issues, as well as keeping merchant's money and locking their account erroneously. Why in the world would you still give PayPal business knowing their lack of integrity, customer service, and total lack of concern for their customers?StatCounter Team Response:Note 4 beneath our blog post explains VL!Thanks for your comment.

    My hnsabud has this need to attach speakers to every piece of electronic equipment in our house. I'm sure if he could figure out how there would be speakers attached to our kettle and toaster as well. Forever tripping over speaker cords and the speakers themselves.Good luck with listening to your program on time :)
