18th Century Netherlands Nozeman Colored Bird Engraving Charadrius
About the Item
Framed large folio sized hand colored copper plate engraving of a bird titled: Charadrius, Hiaticule, on hand made laid linen rag. A collaborative work by Cornelius Nozeman, Christian Sepp, Martyn Houttyn, and completed by Janus Sepp. Published over a 59 year period, from 1770-1829. The engraving size is 21" x 14.5" the overall size of the gold frame is 31.75" x 25". The frame is made of giltwood and plexiglass.
Cornelius Nozeman, (1721-1786) a Dutch minister of the Remonstrant church and an ornithologist provided the inspiration for this finest Dutch work on ornithology and one of the greatest of all time. It was a unique collaborative effort of two Dutch masters, and a project of huge scope and ambition, taking over 60 years to complete. The renowned engraver & artist, Christiaan Sepp drew the illustrations & Nozeman wrote the text for the first two volumes.
The first volume was published by Sepp's son, Jan Christiaan, a bookseller with a strong background in natural history & engraving. In 1775, Christiaan Sepp died & Jan Christiaan completed the second volume. In 1786 Nozeman died, with most of the descriptions for the second volume written (published in 1789). Thus, it was the first two volumes which were directly created by these renowned ornithologists, artists & engravers.
Martinus Houttuyn continued the work for the third volume (published in 1797). Houttuyn died in 1798, and it was not until 1809 that the fourth volume was published, without the name of the writer. Interestingly enough, the whole venture was completed in 1829 by Jan Sepp, the son of Jan Christiaan with assistance from Coenraad Jacob Temminck. Thus, three generations of the illustrious Sepp family were involved in this project of six decades.
