The Lambert dynasty was one of the most illustrious in Belgian history and left a great heritage to its country as a sponsor for architecture and art collections. Baron Philippe Lambert was the last member of this dynasty who ran the family-owned bank which he served during 37 years. As he is reaching the end of his life, he decided to share the memories of the Lambert family interwoven with his personal remembrances. In this illustrated testimony, Baron Philippe Lambert tells us about the impact the Lambert dynasty had on the banking sector and how the whole family was involved in this business as well as in the development of the railroad network and European history. LONG AGO (AND FAR AWAY) is the history of this family and its great banking adventure, from the beginning, through its "golden years" and until its recent end.
