William Henley's Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers
states the following about the maker.
Joseph Aubry. Born 1873.
Joseph Aubry was the son of a guitar maker. He served an aprentiship in violin making, established his own premises in Mirecourt and in 1921 gained the first class diploma at Paris for the perfect tonal sonority of his instruments. He was also recipient of the 'highest honours' at the Metz Exposition in 1922. Moved to Le Harvre 1927. Henley devotes another five paragraphs expounding the quality and tone of Aubry's violins.
