Name/TitlePostcard of Samuel Lucas Snr's Market Place
About this objectThe painting of Market Place by Samuel Lucas Senior has been drawing attention since it was painted. One amazing point about the work is that we know who so many of the people featured are. This postcard of the painting corresponds with postcard 2021.29.4, the identifications. Both are souvenirs associated with the original work. It is likely that both were sold by Hitchin Museum at some stage in its history.
Samuel Lucas also created smaller versions of his painting (sometimes with variations), we hold one in our collection and there are at least two more that people have visited with or let us know about.
