Catalogue Note
The arms are those of von Bülow, of Mecklenburg, Germany. The first mention of the name von Bülow was at the time of the Crusades, when Gottfried von Bülow was knighted in 1236. In the 19th Century, Hans Guido Freiherr von Bülow (1830-1894) was one of the most famous conductors of the time. He married Frantz Liszt's daughter and established the successes of several major composers, including Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.
