Default Felix Claudot

Does anyone have information on the luthier Felix Claudot? I'll go and check out a bass made ​​by him in the next week. Not much information on the internet, unfortunately. I have currently no pictures or any information about the bass.

Not much on him but made mainly double basses. He died young at about 35 years old in 1906, born 1871. It is mentioned he was mainly a bass maker but the basses are not as good as those by Paul Claudot (1805-1888). I don't know if they were directly related or not but no mention of them ever working together either.
