Beckett notes that it appears that ''Mr White suggested pleasing collectors by taking off a large number of unlettered proofs, a suggestion which Lucas eventually adopted when he became his own publisher''."}]},"identifier":[{"accession_number":"Constable\/EL\/1\/1\/110","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"Constable\/EL\/1\/1\/110"},{"priref":"110009873","type":"priref","value":"110009873"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110009873","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/110009873"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"lifecycle":{"creation":[{"maker":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-29619","uid":"adlib-agent-29619","uuid":"ef67fb8d-9a82-3301-9947-b8d0526effb3"},"summary_title":"Constable, John"}]}]},"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","units":"mm","value":"200"},{"dimension":"Width","units":"mm","value":"131"}]},"summary_title":"MS Letter, Constable to Lucas","title":[{"value":"MS Letter, Constable to Lucas"}],"type":{"base":"object","type":"OBJECT"}}
