Kubclik's "£25,0 C0 M Strad came to England from Biusseis in lblo, and was given the name of the "Messiah," or tiie '"Emperor." Eventually Mr Edgar Haddock, of Leeds, acquired it, and,, as is generallv believed, sold it, in 1910, to Kubelik for £IO.OOO, the same sum once refused by the city of Genoa for Paganini's "Joseph." The only figure comparable with this is the £7ouo which Eugene Ysaye is credited with having refused for his Strad; though £3900 was realised for the lied Cross at Christie's, during the war, where Lady Wernher'B Strad fetched £2OCO and then £l9oo—a unique selling. Piatti's Strad 'cello fetched £4ooo—from Mendelssohn, the Berlin banker.
