Biographies
The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
John Dilworth+
François Born 1808, died 1874. Assumed to be the brother of Dominique Salzard, above. Similar work on large Mirecourt/Stradivari model. Labelled and branded: ‘François Salzard’
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Paris, 1830.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er soll eine Zeit lang in Paris gearbeitet haben und eröffnete 1836 in Mirecourt seine Werkstatt. Seine Arbeit erinnert an Chappuy; nur ist sein Lack noch schlechter. Sein Modell dagegen wird, wenn auch ohne ersichtlichen Grund, heute noch nachgeahmt. Auch sein Vater dürfte schon Geigenmacher gewesen sein, und diesem müssten die mittelmässigen Geigen, die im Innern einen Brandstempel: »D. Salzar« tragen, zugeschrieben werden. (Der Buchstabe 1 dieses Stempels scheint verletzt gewesen zu sein, so dass man beinahe »Saizar« lesen könnte).
Henri Poidras+
Mirecourt 1808-1874. Ordinary work. Brown yellow varnish.
