Frederik de Wit
Frederick de Wit (1629/1630 – 1706) was a cartographer and artist who drew, printed and sold maps.〔Isabella H van Eeghen, ''Frederick de Wit, Amsterdams uitgever,'' in Drs. A. H. Sijmons’ Jacob Aertsz. Colom’s Kaart van Holland 1681, (Alphen A/D Rijn: Canaletto, 1990) p12〕 On maps his name is also written Frederic, Frederik, Frederico and Fredericus (Latinised). His surname is also written as de Witt and de Widt.
He was born in Gouda and died in Amsterdam. He was the company founder.〔Van Eeghen, 1990) p12〕
==Early years and the founding of the company==
Frederick de Wit was born Frederick Hendricksz or Frederick son of Hendrick. He was born to a Protestant family in 1629/30, in Gouda, a small city in the province of Holland, one of the seven united provinces of the Netherlands. His father Hendrick Fredericsz (1608 - 29 July1668)〔Streekarchief Midden-Holland, Gouda: inventarissen: 8. Sociale zorg; vakorganisaties (1)〕 was a hechtmaecker (knife handle maker) from Amsterdam,〔Gemeente Amsterdam Stadsarcief: Archief van de Burgerlijke Stand; Doop-, trouw- en begraafboeken van Amsterdam: Book 2476, fish 764 p.50〕 and his mother Neeltij Joosten († before 1658) was the daughter of a merchant in Gouda. Frederick was married on the 29th of August 1661, to Maria van der Way (1632–1711), the daughter of a wealthy Catholic merchant in Amsterdam.〔Gemeente Amsterdam Stadsarcief: Archief van de Burgerlijke Stand; Doop-, trouw- en begraafboeken van Amsterdam: Bestanddeel:685 p.78〕 From ca. 1648 until his death at the end of July 1706, Frederick de Wit lived and worked in Amsterdam. Frederick and Maria had seven children, but only one Franciscus Xaverius (1666-1727) survived them.〔Gemeente Amsterdam Stadsarcief - Begraafregister〕
By 1648, during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, De Wit had moved from Gouda to Amsterdam. As early as 1654 he had opened a printing office and shop under the name “De Drie Crabben” (the Three Crabs) which was also the name of his house on the Kalverstraat.〔Van Eeghen, (1990) p.12〕 In 1655, De Wit changed the name of his shop to the “Witte Pascaert” (the White Chart). Under this name De Wit and his firm became internationally known.〔Johann Gottfried Gregorii, ''Curieuse Gedancken von den vornehmsten und accuratesten alt- und neuen Land-Charten nach ihrem ersten Ursprunge, Erfindung, Auctoribus und Sculptoribus, Gebrauch und Nutzen enworffen ...''(Frankfurt, Leipzig, (): Ritschel, 1713) p.75〕
