* Jenner (Edward, 1749-1823), English physician and scientist who pioneered the concept of vaccines. A George III silver snuff box by IB, Birmingham 1795, the rectangular box with engine turned decoration, the hinged lid enclosing gilded interior, the inner lid contemporarily engraved ‘Edward Jenner to Thomas Croome.’, 27mm high x 85mm wide x 45mm deep, approximately 91gQty: (1)NOTESA rare Edward Jenner association item, even if the identity of the recipient has not been firmly established. The most favoured candidate is Thomas Croome (1796-1840), one of whose sisters, Mary (1779-1865), or Ann (1789-1849), was a god-daughter to Jenner and whose older brother, Robert (1794-1876), appears to have been a pupil and friend of Jenner. Robert lived and practised as a surgeon in Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, where he also gave smallpox vaccinations. These siblings were the children of William (1745-1811) and Sally (1751-1743) Croome of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, where Jenner himself lived and practised. If this Thomas Croome is the right attribution then it is likely that the snuff box would have been engraved and gifted in Jenner's later years when Thomas was an adult. Another Jenner artefact from this Croome family is known. 'Dr Jenner's chair' was purchased at the 1823 sale of his furniture by one of Robert and Thomas's sisters and given to Robert. This chair remained in the Croome family until it was sold with other family effects in September 1900 and bought by E. B. Tylor, Keeper of the University Museum, Oxford, who in turn gave it to the Museum's medical department. From there it was transferred to the Museum of the History of Science in 1949 (inventory no. 17096). It is probable that both Thomas and Robert had some involvement in the proposals and planning for the erection of a memorial statue to Jenner in Gloucester Cathedral [sculpted by R.W. Sievier, 1825]; see Wellcome Library MS1180/3014/3014/5241, items 3 & 5: letters to the committee secretary, the surgeon Henry Jones Shrapnell (1792-1834). Another less likely, and older, candidate is a gentleman, Thomas Croome (1769-1839) of Randwick, Gloucestershire, who bought the Manor of Painswick, Gloucestershire, in 1804. This Thomas Croome married Elizabeth Clutterbuck (1767-1827) at Randwick in 1801. However, no direct connection between this Thomas Croome and Jenner has been ascertained. What is certain is that the family name of Croome is common in Berkeley and throughout Gloucestershire and it is quite possible Edward Jenner knew more than one Thomas Croome.

Lot 138

Victorian wooden snuff box presented to the jockey Charlie Marlow for winning the Gold Cup at Ascot in 1850,inscribed ASCOT GOLD CUP CHARLES MARLOW 1850, hinged lid, 4 by 7 by 2cm.Interestingly, the Ascot Gold Cup at this time had a different name. During a short period following Nicholas I of Russia's state visit to the 1844 running, it was known instead as the Emperor's Plate in his honour after the ruler had presented the racecourse with a new trophy for the race. Its original name was restored after nine years, during the Crimean War.Charles Marlow (1814-1882) was a jockey renowned for his honesty and integrity. He enjoyed a successful association with Lord Eglington's The Flying Dutchman on whom he also won the 1849 Derby and St Leger. The colt was also involved in one of the most celebrated match races in Turf history against Lord Zetland's Voltigeur at York.Tragically, the jockey's later years were spent in the workhouse and he died in Wiltshire's County Asylum.
