Catalogue of Rare Old Violins, Violas and Violoncellos - Also Bows of Rare Makes

This vintage book contains a catalogue of the rare and antique violins offered for sale by the Lyon & Healy company of Chicago in 1917. For each piece there is provided an authentic photograph, as well as an expert description and other notable information. This volume will appeal to violin collectors and antique dealers alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage violin literature. Contents include: "Antonius Stradivarius, Cremona, 1717", "Franscesco Rugieri (detto il per), Cremona, 1671", "Sanctus Seraphin, Venice, 1744", "Joseph Guarnerius, Filius Andreas, Cremona, 1710", "Giovanni Baptiste Ruggeri, Brescia, 1667", "Matteo Goffriller, Venice, 1696", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction of the author.
