4GUARNERIUS, Pietro, Cremona, 1725, 1740, son of Joseph and grandson of Andrew.
5GUARNERIUS, Joseph G., Cremona, 1725, 1745, surnamed del Jesu. Many of his instruments bear the monogram I.H.S. The following is a copy of the label:—"Joseph Guarnerius, fecit Cremona, anno 17—. I.H.S." This was the last maker of this illustrious family.
7GUERSAN, Ludovicus (Louis), Paris, 1730, 1766, an excellent French maker. His violins are of the small pattern, and finely finished, being covered with oil-varnish.
