Arthur Bultitude and the Hill Tradition by Richard Sadler
A detailed examination of the workshop of W.E. Hill & Sons, with a particular focus on the great bow makers who spent time at the firm. The 'Hill tradition' – combining influences from Italy, France, Germany and Britain – is reflected in the fine instruments and bows illustrated. A detailed study of the Tubbs family provides an important link to the earlier Dodd family; there also is a special concentration on the first Hill bow maker, Samuel Allen. Previously unpublished conversations with Arthur Bultitude offer a vivid and frank account of life at the bench. Of great value to dealers and collectors and of particular interest to today's artisans.
