拍品 1The Domestic Medicine Chest Collection of Dr Anne M. Young
In 1948, Anne Mortimer Young, then a young medical student, was given a small nineteenth-century medicine chest. This lay sadly neglected for the next thirty years as Dr Young was fully occupied managing her home and two children and working as a psychiatrist. The chest was rediscovered at a time when family pressures had lessened and led to her collecting medical antiques. This in turn led to a great interest in medical history, particularly the history of domestic medicine and, in 1982, she obtained the Diploma in Medical History of the Society of Apothecaries, London. When she retired from medicine, Dr Young gave talks and wrote for groups ranging from antique clubs to the British Societies for the History of Medicine and Pharmacy. Her collection of domestic medicine chests and other medical related items shows not only her academic background but a 'keen eye' for rare and special pieces.
