Justus Danckerts

Justus Danckerts I (11 November 1635 in Amsterdam – 16 July 1701 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch engraver and print publisher who along with other members of the Danckerts family created one of the leading Dutch geographical map and atlas publishing houses.

[1] After producing in the early 1680s over 20 folio-sized atlas maps, he published in 1686–1887 the first Danckerts atlas.

Its map sheets and plates were used by various publishers until the middle of the 18th century.

[3] His sons, Theodorus Danckerts I (1663–1727) and Cornelis Danckerts II (1664–1717) were prominent engravers and print makers, skillful in map plate engraving and etching.
