Pieter and David MORTIER were brothers of French origin whose publications covered a vast area encompassing French and English works as well as Dutch. Pieter was probably trained in selling books and maps in Paris and David spent many years in England; in fact, he acquired British citizenship and died around 1728 or so. After Pieter's death, his widow continued his activities until their son, Cornelis, was able to take over. then, in 1721, Cornelis joined forces with his brother-in-law, Johannes Covens, to form the famous Covens and Mortier, a company which retained a slight name change until the mid-19th century.
