Eimer, Christopher, Pingo Family and Medal Making in 18th-Century Britain, British Art Metal Trust, London, 1998, 96 pages, softcover, photos throughout. This book overturns the established view of the Pingos as Italians coming over to Britain in the 1740s. It provides firm evidence of them actively engaged as clock makers and engravers in London in the 1680s, and suggests that the family had provincial English origins. It traces four additional generations of Pingos, and includes a catalogue of all their known work, which numbers over two hundred medals, coins, waxes, models and drawings.
