JOACHIM OTTENS 1663-1719
REINER OTTENS (son) 1698-1750
JOSHUA OTTENS (son) 1704-65
Holländskt kartförlag, etablerat i Amsterdam 1726 av bröderna Reiner och Iosua Ottens vid deras övertag av ett äldre konst- och kartföretag. Firman utgav en större atlas och en 'Atlas Minor' i en rad odaterade utgåvor. De ombesörjde även nyutgåvor av Louis Renards (se denne) navigationsatlas. Detta kan tyda på att det var hans företag som de övertog.
The family business of print and map selling was founded by Joachim Ottens but the active period of map publishing was concentrated in the years between 1720 and 1750 when the brothers, Reiner and Joshua, produced enormous collections of maps, some as large as 15 volumes. These, including copies of practically all maps available at the time, were made up to order and were magnificently coloured. Besides these specially prepared collections they also issued single-volume atlases with varying contents as well as pocket atlases.

GERRITSZ [GERARD, GERARDUS, GHERRITSZOON van ASSUM].
Biografiska uppgifter:Hessel 1581-1632.
Gerritsz was apprenticed to W. J. Blaeu as an engraver before starting in business on his own account. He worked closely with Petrus Plancius and his merit may be judged by the fact that he was appointed Cartographer to the Dutch East India Company in preference to Blaeu and subsequently held the same position in a newly formed West India Company. With the new company he came into touch with Johannes de
Laet for whom he prepared a number of new maps of America in the latter's Nieuwe Wereldt published in 1625. His most important early work was a chart showing Henry Hudson's discoveries in his voyage of 1610-11: it is the first to give an outline of Hudson's Bay and indicates Hudson's belief that he had found a way to the North West Passage.
