Gift 1) 15 sept. 1838 med Anna Kristina Berg, f. 28 sept. 1802 eller 1804 (i Kalmar, Uppsala stift, enligt betyg från Rönö 1834), d. 14 jan. 1847, änka efter protokollssekreteraren Leonard Palmblad; 2) 30 sept. 1861 med Gustava Elisabet Liljedahl, f. 8 sept. 1813, d. 15 apr. 1896, dotter till traktören Johan Liljedahl.

I ett par gravyrer, som tillskrivas C, använder han ett maner, som erinrar om punktgravyrerna i K. D. Forssells »Ett år i Sverige», vilket tyder på, att vi här ha att spåra om än svaga intryck av den Forssellska skolan.

CARY, JOHN.

1754-1835.
Engelsk förläggare och kartograf. Cary var en företagsam förlagsbokhandlare som 1787 började ge ut små och billiga kartor över engelska landområden. 1794 fick han i uppdrag av 'Postmaster General' att utarbeta nya vägkartor över England. Dessa följdes av 'General Atlas of the World' (1808 och 1811) och 'New universal Atlas'. Han räknas som en av de främsta engelska kartograferna. Firman G. & J.

DONCKER, HENDRICK.

Ca. 1626-99.
HENDRICK DONCKER II (son) c. 1664-c. 1739
Holländsk bokhandlare, bosatt i Amsterdam. Han verkar ha specialiserat sig på böcker för nautiskt bruk och som karthandlare intresserade han sig mest för sjökort. 1660 gav han ut 'De Zee-Atlas ofte Water-wereld' som kom i nyutgåva 1665. 1689 gav han ut en karta över Östersjön. Affären övertogs av sonen Hendrik Doncker (se denne).

For about fifty years Hendrick Doncker ran a flourishing business in Amsterdam as a bookseller and publisher of sea atlases and textbooks on navigation. In a period when so many maps and charts were simply copied from other publishers, Doncker's charts were his own work and were noted for their accuracy and constant improvement. Apart from this work, he cooperated for many years with Pieter Goos and Anthonie Jacobsz in producing a pilot guide De Zeespiegel. Eventually his stock was sold to Johannes van Keulen.
Bland arbeten.

Karta över Östersjön.
