The lot is sold with an original copy of The Antique Dealer and Collectors' Guide dated December 1946 in which an article features the cabinet with an illustration, Jack Webb writes to the editor asking for more information about the cabinet. A typed letter from the editor together with black and white photographs is also included. The article suggests that "this very attractive example is typical of the portable cabinets made during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when panels of etched ivory were inlaid in backgrounds of ebony, tortoiseshell, or one of the fashionable Oriental woods which were just reaching European cabinet makers. The etched pictorial scenes, if read in sequence, will usually associate themselves with a story of classical mythology, but historical subjects were also portrayed", and that the "style and form indicate that this cabinet was made between 1805 and 1820. If the lines of the etching are tinted brown by the use of silver nitrate as the etching medium, this is further indication that the work belongs to the early 1800's, when the silver nitrate method of etching ivory was in full favour. Formerly the lines were black, the etching medium having been sulphuric acid."
