Antique medicine chests

by

Anne Mortimer Young

An invaluable guide to the history and evolution of 18th and 19th century domestic medicine chests –
those precursors of today's bathroom cabinets and first-aid kits
often erroniously described as Apothecaries Cabinets.

Using examples from museums and private collections throughout Europe, Dr Young examines the styles of the cabinets to provide guidance on dating. Their contents – bottles, drugs and accessories – are also considered.

92pp, 43 illustrations including 12 colour plates
Price: £18 paperback + £1.50 postage (Europe);
ISBN: 1898825025 paperback

Now retired from medicine, Dr Anne Mortimer Young
is a writer and broadcaster, gives talks to groups ranging from antiques clubs to the British Societies for the History of Medicine and Pharmacy.
