Details and sources

Record note

What this record rests on is A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1896), naming this maker and nothing more. Entries from 2 books stand under this name, and the software judged them near-certain the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. Nothing else on this site confirms it and no claim has been invented beyond that naming — not established, until someone can tell us more.

How the pages were read

3 of the 3 lines here were read from machine text (software that turns a photo of a page into words), not by a person looking at the page image. 1 of them rests on a section heading above a list of names, not on a trade word printed on its own line: “A DICTIONARY OF VIOLIN MAKERS.”.

Notes
