Biographies
John Dilworth
CARLANDER, Elias Born 1721, died 1784 Stocholm Sweden. Primarily a violinist in the court orchestra of Stockholm. Application for a licence to make instruments in 1751 rejected, but granted special permission from the King in 1760. After his retirement from the orchestra c.1775 his previously meagre productivity increased substantially.

Handwritten label with simple ruled border: Elias Carlander / Kongl Hof / Musicus J. Stockholm Ao 17..
