黃道周 1585-1646

釋文：幾年台宕影，尺地江湖心。屐齒明於月，荔愚□到今。不貪流可枕，只謂石宜琴。何日扶藍舉，成險過竹林。《同呂而德張勗之洪尊江東口□似蔣問度詞壇》，黃道周。鈐印：「黃道周印」

何兆驥先生出生於中國上海，自幼四海為家，藉此自學成才，並於早年培養出個人的鑑賞品味。其家族經營煤炭業，他把家族業務拓展至航運業，後於1949年離開中國內地抵達香港。1959年，他舉家移民至紐約，一直居於當地至2017年以九十八歲高齡辭世。

何氏珍藏包羅中國書畫、珠寶、家具及其他藝術珍品。他非常欣賞中國藝術文化，尤其是古董文物。其收藏歷程始於香港，退休後他投放更多精力進行購藏，與國際拍賣行專家積極聯繫。他對研究和拍賣過程的享受之情，相當於他對收藏本身的鍾愛。
