Solomon Lucas -Jew in the High Street, Eatonswill. Costumier

“Mr. Leo Hunter had not exaggerated the resources of Mr. Solomon Lucas. His wardrobe
was extensive--very extensive-- not strictly classical perhaps, not quite new, nor did it
contain any one garment made precisely after the fashion of any age or time, but
everything was more or less spangled; and what can be prettier than spangles! It may be
objected that they are not adapted to the daylight, but everybody knows that they would
glitter if there were lamps; and nothing can be clearer than that if people give fancy-balls
in the day-time, and the dresses do not show quite as well as they would by night, the fault
lies solely with the people who give the fancy-balls, and is in no wise chargeable on the
spangles. Such was the convincing reasoning of Mr. Solomon Lucas; and influenced by such
arguments did Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle, and Mr. Snodgrass engage to array themselves in
costumes which his taste and experience induced him to recommend as admirably suited to
the occasion.”
