Violin by Jerome Thibouville-Lamy (JTL)
The largest of the great Mirecourt instrument making firms, Jérôme Thibouville joined forces with Charles Buthod and Charles-Claude Husson to form the Husson-Buthod-Thibouville frim. When Jérôme Thibouville married Marguerite Hyacinthe Lamy in 1861, the firm changed its name to the now-famous "Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy (J.T.L.)".
The firm became the largest of the Mirecourt violin making factories and produced over 150,000 instruments annually with 1,000 craftsmen.
The J.T.L. firm closed its factories in 1968, after the Mirecourt instrument making industry dwindled in the mid 20th century.
