I am looking for as much information as possible on a violin I have

fantastic as I cannot seem to find anything!

There doesn't seem to be any information online, but if you want to
keep on researching, these links may help:
 
"A largely original work, based on research in the Mirecourt and Nancy
archives which has never been replaced. It is illustrated with
pictures of instruments, violin labels, maker?s marks, portraits"

(I'm afraid the museum sounds rather discouraging to researchers who
aren't visiting in person.)
