Hendrick Doncker (1626-1699) was a Dutch cartographer, bookseller, and publisher of sea charts and nautical atlases in Amsterdam. He started his business at age 22 and ran his shop successfully for 50 years. Doncker was known for producing his own accurate and regularly updated maps, rather than copying from others. His most significant work was the "Zee-Atlas" (Sea Atlas) first published in 1659. After his death, Doncker's remaining stock and map plates were acquired by Johannes van Keulen.
