Ottens, Frederik
Frederik Ottens (fl. 1717 - 1770) was a Dutch printmaker and draughtsman. One of the sons of Joachim Ottens (1663 - 1719), as well as his student, he would not take control of the firm. This passed to Joachim's elder sons Renier (1698 - 1750) and Joshua (1698 - 1750). The firm were prominent Dutch booksellers and map publishers from about 1680 to 1785. During the prolific period under Renier and Joshua's aegis, Frederik executed many of the family's illustrations. He also worked for other printers. His engravings also appeared in François Valentijn's 1724 Oud en nieuw Oost-Indiën.
