HOFMANS, Mathias, Antwerp, 1700-25. A Kit of this maker was exhibited

JACOBS, Hendrik, Amsterdam, 1690-17--. A close imitator of Niccolo
Amati. Few makers have been more mistaken than Jacobs; so exact was he
in following the model of Amati, that numbers of his Violins are
passed by the inexperienced as original. He mostly selected the grand
pattern of Amati for his model, which gave him full scope for the
exercise of his powers. He selected wood as nearly as possible
resembling that found in the works of Niccolo Amati. The backs are
mostly of even grain, and compact; the modelling can only be found
fault with near the purfling, where its sharpness at once catches the
attention of the critic in these matters, and divulges the true
author. The varnish, though good, is not equal to that of Amati. The
scroll is inferior to the body in merit. The purfling is of whalebone,
like that of most of the Dutch makers.

JACOBS, ----, Amsterdam, probably a son of the above. Excellent
varnish, of a deep red, very transparent; full of character, but
wanting in finish. Purfling embedded.
