The Danckerts family were notable print and map sellers, and engravers, in Amsterdam for nearly a hundred years, between 1630 and 1727.
Justus Danckerts was probably ranked the highest of the skilled engravers of the seventeenth century.
The Danckerts produced several grand wall maps of the world and the four continents, including a large map of the East Indies which shows Australia at the lower right with a wonderful heavily engraved procession of animals and figures proceeding across its interior from the undiscovered right side of Australia.

The Northern church (Noorderkerk) is different from the others and is built in the form of a cross, but without a substantial tower on top.
The wooden roof with the little pretty tower is craftmenship of H.J. Staets (city carpenter) and his friend C. Danckerts (city wallmaker).
Later this (like the "Munttoren") got a new towerpeak, more decorative and built by Hendrick de Keyser (also responsible for several churches as you know by now).
