E V Lucas was a popular and prolific author who could turn his hand to almost any subject with aplomb. He wrote knowledgably about Cricket, John Arlott considered his collection of press pieces to be the finest cricket writing he had encountered. He wrote humorous pieces for 'Punch'. He was born in Eltham, Kent into a Quaker family, and educated at Friends School in Saffron Walden. He worked first in a Brighton bookshop and then on a Sussex newspaper followed by The Globe; rising without university education to the Punch 'table' in 1904. He became a prolific writer, providing extensive content for Punch and a column "A wanderer's notebook" for The Sunday Times. From 1924 he was the Chairman of Methuen Publishers. He was responsible for A. A. Milne teaming up with E. H. Shepard for the Winnie-the-Pooh books. This did not stop him from penning a collection of children's poems entitled 'Playtime and Company' which was illustrated by E H Shepard. and published in 1925 a year after 'When We Were Very Young' the first of Milne's Winnie the Pooh books. This piece of music came from a substantial library amassed by Maude Beerbohm Tree and later added to by her daughters Viola (1884-1938 and Felicity (1894-1978) Helen Maud Holt (5 October 1863 - 7 August 1937), professionally known as Mrs Beerbohm Tree and later Lady Tree, was an English actress. She was the wife of the actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the mother of Viola Tree, Felicity Tree and Iris Tree. After early stage appearances beginning in 1883, Mrs Tree married and established a theatrical partnership with her husband, in which they appeared in revivals of classic plays and productions of new plays, first at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket and then at Her Majesty's Theatre. Her performances in serious roles were well received, but she was most celebrated for her work in comedy, from Shakespeare to new works by Wilde and others. After her husband's death in 1917, Lady Tree continued to act steadily for almost two decades more until towards the end of her life, in plays and some films, making her last stage appearance in 1935. This is just one of a great many pieces of music and scores that I am selling from this collection on this site. Ref T1.

Delormel did not write "The Boulanger" March ("En Revenat de la revue") nor did he write "Père la Victoire" but I dont say he didn't publish them.' Finck attributes the first to 'M. Desormes (the Conductor of the Folies Bergere Paris up to the time of his death about a year ago)', and the second to 'Louis Ganne who composed "Lorraine" March, also that hackneyed Mazurka the name of which I forget for the moment which goes like this: - | [Finck has written a line of musical score here]'. In a postscript he states that 'The "Star" scintillator also erred thusly in the work that has gone.' The third page carries a humorous remark attributed by Finck to Cuvier, regarding 'the supposed definition of a lobster'.

His 'In the Shadows' was one of the last tunes played as RMS Titanic went down.

He knew that Finck was ill, but 'the news of his death broadcast on Friday night came as a shock to me. | He & I had known each other for many years, & specially during the last five or six years we had much to say to each other at the Savage, my admiration for him deepening the more I knew him.' Another member of the Savage Club, Philip Page, referred to Finck as 'the most genial man he ever knew', and this was 'endorsed by all his fellow Savages'. As 'Chairman of the House Dinner on Saturday night', Hammerton paid 'a brief tribute to him', and asked 'the Brethren who knew him so well to toast his memory in silence'. He ends with reference to '[a]nother dear friend of mine', who 'passed away within an hour or so of Herman - Sir Wm. Ramsay - to whose widow I have been writing tonight'. While Ramsay 'had his fill of years' at the age of 88, Finck hadn't, 'though his years were full & mostly lovely, and none of us who knew him well will ever hear one of his compositions played without feeling he is still with us . . . dear old Herman.'
