Collection Overview
This collection of late seventeenth century maps of the world was printed and published by the Danckerts family in Amsterdam. This unique composite atlas has no index or title page. The endsheet contains the signature "Mitchell King, 1811" and the first map contains the signature "M. King, 1811". The maps are undated except for the last map "Tabula Indiae Orientalis" by de Wit and L'Huilier which is dated 1662. The compiling period of the atlas was determined to be between 1690 and 1695. Some of the maps have the privilege lettering that the Dankerts family was granted by the States of Holland and West Frisia on August 14, 1684.
