Description: | Sir Edward Parry
Wooden medicine chest with brass plate on the lid inscribed 'Sir Edward Parry' lined with red velvet. With brass flush handles. Contains nineteen bottles of various sizes. Drawer underneath with rack for seven bottles at the back and two tin containers, glass pestle and mortar. Flat piece of glass at the top. Two compartments with sliding lids in the drawer. Belonged to Sir William Edward Parry (1790-1855) Arctic explorer. As Parry was knighted in 1829, after his Arctic explorations (1818-1825), this chest must have come in his possession after that date.
