Uit het voorwoord: 
This book has taken five odd years to prepare - in spite of this, it is possible there may be one or two omissions, for which I apologise in advance. If there are any, they will be entirely in- voluntary and as much as anything, will be due to lack of infor- mation. That said, the object of this book was to put together in one place the name of every French bowmaker with a description of his life and work. As far as their work is concerned, I must point out that one should not necessarily expect the same style in all their productions. A large number of makers, including the most well known: TOURTE, DOMINIQUE PECCATTE, VOIRIN, SARTORY etc., would try something different as the mood took them, or they might even have been commissioned to produce something unusual, a 'one-off' job to suit somebody's fancy. As with any artist worthy of the name, bowmakers are experimenters – their character is expressed in the shape of the stick, the cut of the head and in the embellishments of the nut and adjuster. All this can only be accomplished by investigation and thus their knowledge grew. This book will reveal just how many bowmakers there were from Mirecourt who were active in the second half of the 18th century. Although only a few examples are left, they represent the birth of the great French school. The talent of the "maîtres" of the 19th century and the skill of contemporary bowmakers have maintained the excellent reputa- tion of their predecessors. We must not forget however, the English, German and other schools, where certain bowmakers have advanced their countries' prestige in no small way. hope that this book, which, for obvious reasons, is dedicated to French bowmakers, will appeal to professionals, to collectors and to musicians – to all bowlovers in fact - as a permanent record of the skills made available to them - and as a proof of the good taste which creates "works of art".
