History
An English family of string instrument makers, printers and publishers who were active in the from the mid-18th century until the first decade of the 19th century. The enterprise started in 1741 by Peter Thompson who acquired the business of John Young, who died about a decade earlier. Thompson seems to have been an apprentice or associate of Young's. The premises, remaining plates and stock in trade were sold to Purday & Button ca.1805.
