Description
Very rare map of Poland Lithuania and Ukraine, etc. Engraved by A. Schut.
Joachim Ottens (1663 - 1719) and his sons Renier and Joshua were prominent Dutch booksellers and map publishers from about 1680 to 1790. Joachim, the founder of the firm, was initially employed as a copperplate engraver by Frederick de Wit. In 1711 Joachim founded his own firm.
Though Joachim died only a few years later, his sons Renier and Joshua took over the firm and presided over its most prolific period.
Reinier & Josua Ottens
Reinier & Josua Ottens (Amsterdam, fl. 1726-1765) Joachim Ottens (1663-1719), a copper engraver by training, founded the family's print- and map-selling firm in Amsterdam, becoming a member of the print- and art-sellers' guild in 1710. The shop traded under the sign "In de Wereldcaert" ("In the World Map"). On Joachim's death in 1719, the business passed to his widow and sons, and on 20 October 1726 a formal partnership was established between the two brothers, Reinier (I) and Josua, trading as R. & I. Ottens. The brothers, working from separate premises but under a shared partnership, became one of the leading map-publishing houses in Amsterdam during the second quarter of the eighteenth century, their output flourishing especially between 1719 and c.1750. Much of their business involved reissuing and reworking plates acquired from earlier publishers — notably Guillaume de l'Isle — alongside their own commissions, and they were particularly renowned for the vast made-to-order composite atlases they assembled for wealthy clients, some running to more than 800 separately issued maps and bound in as many as fifteen volumes. Reinier (I) died in 1750; the firm continued as Josua & Reinier Ottens, with Reinier's son (Reinier II) taking his father's place, until Josua's own death in 1765. Josua's widow, Johanna de Lindt, carried the business on with Reinier II until around 1780, finally selling off the remaining stock of plates in 1784.
