Lot Essay

This set is illustrated on page 15 of the S. Maw, Son & Thompson Book of Illustrations. There is an apparently redundent compartment in the upper right-hand corner of the case, yet the set is complete when compared to the list and the woodcut illustration. It is possible that the same case was also used for the dry-cupping set and that the compartment would hold a valve.
