What the books printed

Dictionary of Violin makers, Arnold Sewell. 1928. Scan 216.
RITCHIE (A.) — Dundee (Scotland) circa 1833-1904. Very thorough modern make after the Cremonese masters. His varnish lacks suppleness. Judging from the numbers on his last labels, his production must have been fairly large and at least two hundred instruments are to be accounted to him.
