The \'Admit\' fields have been left blank on these substantially-sized tickets,and we do not know whether the Lucas\'s actually attended. John Seymour Lucas was good friends with Princess Louise, and a member of the Royal Academy, both of which would have helped him onto the guest list of this illustrious service.
Dress was Uniform, Levee, or Morning Dress, and guests were instructed to enter by the cathedral\'s north door. Carriage instructions are given on the rear.

We are proud to bring you a large part of John Seymour Lucas\'s personal archives, consisting of letters, photographs, ephemeraand curios, notebooks, sketchbooks and a variety of other sentimental items that he gathered during his lifetime. Amongst the archives are letters relating to a train crash in Burgos, Spain, in 1891, in which Lucas suffered serious injuries.
Lucas\'s charm and wit meant that he often got drew the best out of his correspondents in terms of interesting content and observations in the letters he received from them.
The collection also includes letters and other items belonging to his wife and children. The archivewas discovered in the attic ofhis former home, Priory Place, in Blythburgh, Suffolk, which John Seymour Lucas redesigned in his later life with a great passion. Full provenance available on request.
John Seymour Lucas (1849-1923) was an English historical genre painter, whose work was especially popular during the lateVictorian period and early 20th century. Eminating from an artistic London family (his uncle was the painter John Lucas) he trained at St Martin\'s School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools, and was elected as a full member of the Royal Academy in 1898. He was also a theatrical designer of some repute. By all accounts a popular and highly personable man, he kept correspondence with a wide social circle, includingactors, artists, aristocrats, antiquariesand other eminent figures of the day. He had a particularly special relationship with Princess Louise (daughter of Queen Victoria)and was also a member of a number of exclusive societies, such as the mysterious Kernoozers Club. He married Marie (née Cornelissen) (1855-1921) of Swedish descent. Their children, Marie (\'Poppet\', née Grubbe) and Sydney, also pursued their artistic talents to various degrees.
