Lot 454
Thomas E. Dexter’s Portable Museum Of Natural Substances, being a mid 19th Century mahogany table top cabinet fitted two panelled doors enclosing six drawers containing Manufactured Articles including buttons, wood, materials etc, Animal Substances including bees wax, horn, ivory, tortoiseshell etc, Vegetable Productions including tapioca, tea, cloves etc and Minerals & Metals including chalk, marble, gypsum etc, the inside of the doors with printed labels bearing the script ‘patronized by Her Majesty. Portable Museum Of Natural Substances, raw and manufactured, from the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms. Illustrative of the Imports, Exports, Productions & Manufactures of Great Britain and her Colonies. Compiled and arranged by Thomas.E. Dexter, Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea.’, height of cabinet 44cm. The Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea was created in 1803, originally as a means to educate the children of destitute military families. It is seen as the country’s first large scale attempt to educate working class children. In 1892 the R.M.A. was renamed The Duke Of York’s Royal Military School which exists to this day as a state boarding school still maintaining its military traditions. It appears that Thomas.E. Dexter started his teaching career at the age of 16 at an infant school on the Millmead Estate in Guildford before succeeding his father at the Holy Trinity National School. He is listed in the Royal Military Asylum census of 1851 as an infant school teacher and his Portable Museum Of Natural Substances was to be exhibit 189 at the 11th Annual Exhibition Of Inventions held at The Society Of Arts, Adelphi during the spring of 1859. This extract from the April 29th 1859 edition of The Engineer magazine covering the exhibition, praises the piece. ‘Thomas E. Dexter of the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea, exhibits a Portable Museum Of Natural Substances. This is a most meritorious occasion of common sense to educational purposes. Nothing can well be more dry and uninteresting to read about the qualities of natural substances, whilst seeing and handling them is at once a source of pleasure and instruction. Even pictures of things or diagrams are inferior to the articles themselves’. It is not known whether his ‘invention’ which was clearly devised as a teaching aide during his time at the Royal Military Asylum had any great success in subsequent years, although, if true, the claim that it was ‘patronized by Her Majesty’ may suggest that there were indeed some takers for his charming ‘museum’. The interior labels are stained, four of the six drawers have cardboard protectors in them, some of the cardboard mounts are stained - ** General condition consistent with age
