About the Item

Artist: Cornelius Nozeman (Dutch, 1720-1786) Title: "Ardea, Nycticorax (Black-crowned Night Heron)" (Plate 78) Portfolio: Nederlandsche Vogelen (Dutch Birds) Year: 1770-1829 Medium: Original Hand-Colored Engraving on D & C Blauw laid paper Limited edition: Unknown Printer: Unknown, likely Amsterdam, Netherlands Publisher: Jan Christian Sepp, Amsterdam, Netherlands Sheet size: 21.13" x 14.38" Platemark size: 17.5" x 12.5" Image size: 16" x 11.38" Reference: Anker No. 369; "Fine Bird Books" - Sitwell page 129; Nissen IVB No. 684; Wood page 496; Zimmer page 469; Jackson page 431 Condition: Has been professionally stored away for decades. A strong impression in excellent condition Notes: Provenance: private collection - Aspen, CO. Hand-coloring and engraving by Dutch artists Christiaan Sepp (c.1710-1775), Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811), and Jan Sepp (1778-1853). Comes from Nozeman's five volume "Nederlandsche Vogelen (Dutch Birds)", (1770-1829), which consists of 250 hand-colored engravings. Printed from one copper plate in one color: black. D & C Blauw watermark in center of sheet. "Nederlandsche Vogelen" - This large iconography was a long-term project. Cornelius Nozeman, a pastor who owned a cabinet of natural-history specimens, was the first editor but died before the appearance of volume II in 1789. Dr. Martinus Houttuyn, his successor, in turn died shortly after the appearance of volume III in 1797. Christiaan Sepp, the principal artist and publisher of the enterprise, himself died long before the appearance of volume V, though his name still appears on the imprint. Considerable assistance with the final two volumes was lent by C. J. Temminck who owned many of the specimens featured. The detailed text includes notes on habitat, and the plates show each species in its natural surroundings, often with nest and eggs (8 of the plates are of the nest and eggs alone). This approach is prefigured in the frontispieces which memorably combine several species with their nests and suggestions of appropriate habitat. Landwehr gives a complete list of plates and notes that it was the most expensive book for sale in Holland at this period. The black-crowned night-heron, or black-capped night-heron, commonly shortened to just night-heron in Eurasia, is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world, including parts of Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Biography: Cornelius Nozeman or Cornelis (15 August 1720– 22 July 1786) was a Dutch Remonstrant churchman and naturalist. He was born in Amsterdam as the son of the composer Jacobus Nozeman. He was trained as a preacher and called to Alkmaar where he served 1744–1749. There he began to conduct science experiments in his free time. In 1749 he was called to serve in Haarlem, where he became a supporter of the founding of the society "Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen". According to his biographer A.J. van der Aa, he would have become a member of that society except he had an argument with one of the directors based on "two letters to anonymous", that he wrote in 1751 and 1752. This was probably A.J. van der Aa's grandfather, Christianus Carolus Henricus van der Aa (1718-1793), a Lutheran minister in Haarlem and secretary to the society, who like Nozeman also had worked in Alkmaar before coming to Haarlem. In 1755, he purchased a small publishing business in Haarlem, which he kept on for a few years after leaving Haarlem. In 1759, Nozeman was called to serve in Rotterdam, and in 1760 he offered to sell his cabinet of fish and fossils for 100 silver ducats to the young society. The deal did not go through, possibly because of this difference between the two men. It was in Rotterdam that he began preparations for his great work on "Nederlandsche Vogelen" (Birds of the Netherlands) that was published in installments by Christiaan Sepp starting in 1770. This work, finished well after both men had died in 1829, was the first "encyclopedic" book of the birds of the Netherlands (at that time including the area known today as Belgium). It was illustrated by Jan Christiaan Sepp and published by the naturalist Maarten Houttuyn. In 1767 he was awarded an honorary membership in the newly formed "Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde" and in 1769 he was himself one of the founders of the Rotterdam society "Bataafsch Genootschap der Proefondervindelijke wijsbegeerte". In 1778, he was awarded honorary membership in the Provinciaal Utrechts Genootschap. He died in Moordrecht in 1786.

In excellent condition with strong colors Notes: Provenance: private collection - Aspen, CO. Lithography and hand-coloring by John Gould and English artist Henry Constantine Richter (1821-1902). Comes from Gould's five volume "The Birds of Great Britain", (1862-1873) (First edition), which consists of 367 hand-colored lithographs. Other contributing lithographers were German artist Joseph Wolf (1820-1899) and Irish artist William Hart (1830-1908). "The Birds of Great Britain" is recognized as Gould's greatest work. Gold gilded edges as issued. The spectacled cormorant or Pallas's cormorant is an extinct marine bird of the cormorant family of seabirds that inhabited Bering Island and possibly other places in the Commander Islands and the nearby coast of Kamchatka in the far northeast of Russia. Biography: John Gould FRS (14 September 1804 – 3 February 1881) was an English ornithologist and bird artist. He published a number of monographs on birds, illustrated by plates that he produced with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists including Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart. He has been considered the father of bird study in Australia and the Gould League in Australia is named after him. His identification of the birds now nicknamed "Darwin's finches" played a role in the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Gould's work is referenced in Charles Darwin's book, "On the Origin of Species".
