The Dankerts family, of whom the above were the most important, were prominent print and map sellers active in Amsterdam for nearly a century.

Between the years 1680 and 1700 a number of atlases were produced with maps bearing the names Justus or Theodorus Dankerts.
These are now very rare and as the title pages and maps are undated it is difficult, if not impossible, to place any map against any particular edition.

The Dankerts were also noted for production of splendid wall maps of the world and the continents.

Their stock of plates was acquired by R. and J. Ottens who used them for re-issues, having replaced the Dankerts names with their own.
