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.

1678-1757. Född och död i Augsburg.
Tysk kartograf, son till en guldsmed. Hans föräldrar ville att han skulle bli ölbryggare men han såg till att bli lärling i kartgravering hos J.B. Homann i Nürnberg 1697. Efter lärlingstiden återvände Seutter till sin hemstad Augsburg och började arbeta hos Jeremias Wolff på dennes förlag. Från och med år 1707 arbetade han självständigt som kartgravör i Augsburg. 1710 började han ge ut kartor under eget namn och 1728 var han en namnkunnig kartograf. 1730/1732 fick han titeln 'Kaiserlicher Geograph', kejserlig geograf. Totalt skapade Seutter och hans medhjälpare uppemot 400-500 landskartor, stadsplaner och översikter, genealogiska och kronologiska tabeller m.m.. Av atlasverk kom 'Atlas geographicus' 1725 med 46 kartor, 'Atlas novus indicibus instructus' kom ca. 1730 i Augsburg och Wien. En utökad utgåva av den senare med 131 kartor kom 1734/1735 och slutligen utkom ca. 1744 en 'Atlas minor' med 64 kartor i ett mindre format. I atlasen från 1734/1735 delade Seutter upp kartorna i rutor och lät utarbeta stadsreg...

Keere, Pieter van den [Kaerius, Petrus]
Biografiska uppgifter:1571-c. 1646.
Pieter van den Keere was one of a number of refugees who fled from religious persecution in the Low Countries between the years 1570 and 1 590. He moved to London in 1584 with his sister who married Jodocus Hondius, also a refugee there, and through Hondius he undoubtedly learned his skills as an engraver and cartographer. In the course of a long working life he engraved a large number of individual maps for prominent cartographers of the day but he also produced an Atlas of the Netherlands (1617-22) and county maps of the British Isles which have become known as Miniature Speeds, a misnomer which calls for some explanation.
In about 1599 he engraved plates for 44 maps of the English and Welsh counties, the regions of Scotland and the Irish provinces. The English maps were based on Saxton, the Scottish on Ortelius and the Irish on the famous map by Boazio. These maps were not published at once in book form but there is evidence which suggests a date of issue (in Amsterdam) between 1605 and 1610 although at least one authority believes they existed only in proof form until 1617 when Willem Blaeu issued them with a Latin edition of Camden's Britannia. At this stage two maps were added, one of the British Isles and the other of Yorkshire, the latter derived from Saxton. To confuse things further the title page of this edition is signed 'Guilielmus noster Janssonius', which is the Latinized form of Blaeu's name commonly used up to 1619.
At some time after this the plates came into the possession of Speed's publishers, George Humble, who in 1627, the year in which he published a major edition of Speed's Atlas, also issued the Keere maps as a pocket edition. For these he used the descriptive texts of the larger Speed maps and thereafter they were known as Miniature Speeds. In fact, of the 63 maps in the Atlas, 40 were from the original van den Keere plates, reworked, 16 were reduced from Speed and 7 were additional. The publication was very popular and there were further re-issues up to 1676.
