John Dilworth+

ROSELLI, Antonio Born 1798, died 1870 Sassuolo Italy. Amateur maker and musician. Unremarkable work.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Geigen, sowie seine Reparaturen sind nicht besonders gut. Er war ein Mensch, der alles mögliche versuchte; so war er Blasinstrumentenmacher, Maler, ein ganz guter Musiker und sogar Barbier etc. Trotz alledem starb er doch im tiefsten Elend und musste betteln, um sein Leben zu fristen.

Karel Jalovec+

Sassuolo (Modena). Born Jan. 17, 1798, d. Feb. 22, 1870. Violin maker. Instruments and repairs by him are below standard quality. He was a Jack-of-all-trades, made wind instruments, painted pictures, was a good musician, a barber, and finished as beggar.
