To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We presume he was the " Conte Giuseppe Archinto" to whom the well- known Alessandro Rolla dedicated some of his duets for violin and viola. The inlaid tenor, an illustration of which we give, exhibits a masterly combination of choice material, appropriate ornamentation, and refined style. The figure of the maple used for back, sides, and head is charming, and homogeneous throughout ; the beauty of the slender and wavy curls being shown up by the delicate golden varnish of perfect transparency a...nd lightness of texture. The freshness of this instrument's appearance and its state of preservation are extraordinary ; the sound-holes and head convey the impression of their having been wrought but yesterday ; even the black lines with which Stradivari outlined the curves of the head are unworn, and the original neck still remains. The "Archinto" viola is equally beautiful, presenting a number of interesting variations on the previous example, though the maple used is very similar ; the arching of the model is fuller, the corners longer.
