Who or what is this person who died in the age of bicycles, but has something to do with velvet. Somehow I missed this during my 87 year life time. How is it important?

Please excuse my wide ranging interests and knowledge that some have kindly praised while others have not. I supply enormous amounts of relative facts and statistics for some threads and irrelevant references that lighten up the forum.

Thank you for your tolerance.
