Biographies
John Dilworth
RAWLINS, Henry Worked circa. 1770-1780 London UK. Violins, violas, and cellos in the style of Forster. Deep edges and narrow purflings. Variable varnish. High pinched arching. Soundholes set low with sharply turned lower wing. Possibly the teacher of J. Morris of Bath. His signature has also been found in a cello labelled by John Dickeson. Printed labels generally contain the phrase ‘Auspicio Giardini’ which may indicate that the violinist Felice Giardini, at that time a celebrated London resident, was a patron. Signed internally: ‘Henry Rawlins, French / Gardens Marylebone, / 1777’, ‘H. Rawlins, Marylebone, / 1778’. Printed labels: Henricus Rawlins fecit / Auspicio Giardini / Londini, 1779 Restauratus Henricus Rawlins, / Londini. 1779
