Bows branded \'Simon FR\' are thought to be the work of Nicolas Simon, the FR being a reference to his wife\'s maiden name, Frebinet. Simon was based in Mirecourt and his work is of a high quality. His style was largely coistent, often featuring strong heads, triangular sticks and Peccatte-school butto.
Son of Nicolas François Joseph Thomain, Victor Thomain took up an arenticeship in Mirecourt with C.N. Bazin. He remained in his hometown until the mid 1890s, then ent a few years in Paris, where he was probably mainly occupied with restoration work. In around 1900 he left for London, where he worked for various firms, producing English-styled bows branded \'T. Victor\'.
