About the Item

Northern Lapwing Print – Tringa Vanellus Vulgaris by Nozeman and Sepp, 1770 This original hand-coloured copperplate engraving shows a pair of northern lapwings (Vanellus vanellus), or kieviten in Dutch, tending to a clutch of speckled eggs nestled among grasses. One bird stands upright, showing the iridescent green-black plumage and distinctive crest, while the other bends protectively over the nest. This composition beautifully captures not only the anatomy but also the natural behaviour and habitat of the species. Lapwings are common across temperate Eurasia and are particularly associated with Dutch wetlands and pastures. Their unmistakable flight, loud “peewit” calls, and dramatic aerial displays have long made them a familiar and beloved sight in the Netherlands and beyond. This plate comes from the monumental Nederlandsche Vogelen (1770–1829), the first illustrated ornithological work to cover all bird species found in the Netherlands. The project was begun by Cornelis Nozeman and carried forward by Martinus Houttuyn and the Sepp family, with exquisite illustrations engraved and coloured by hand under the direction of Jan Christiaan Sepp. The prints are admired for their blend of artistic detail and scientific observation, and are said to be close to life-size. Often accompanied by extensive descriptive text. This text page notes the Dutch name "kievit". Condition: Very good. Crisp impression with strong original colours. Minor toning, faint margin spotting, and small edge folds not affecting the image. Text page shows light toning, two tiny holes, and scattered margin spots. Framing tips: Use a warm white or soft beige mount and a dark green or walnut wood frame to accentuate the tones in the plumage. A gold fillet can add a refined touch. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the original colouring.
