Details and sources

Record note

Not established is the honest state of this record: it rests on one or more sources naming this maker, and nothing else on this site confirms it. Printed in: Old violins (1905); The Violin: Its Famous Makers and their Imitators (1875); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1875); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators. : With several wood engravings from photographs of the works of Stradiuarius, Guarnerius, Amati, and others (1880). Entries from 3 books stand under this name, and the software judged them likely the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond what those sources state has been invented here; if you can add to it, we want to hear from you.

How the pages were read

4 of the 4 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. 4 of them rest on a section heading above a list of names, not on a trade word printed on their own line: “DICTIONARY OF VIOLIN MAKERS”, “GERMAN MAKERS.”, “SECTION XII.—GERMAN AND DUTCH MAKERS.”, “Italian Makers.”.
