Antique Bird Print of the Woodchat Shrike by Sepp & Nozeman, 1829

About the Item

The antique print titled 'Lanius Rufus' showcases the woodchat shrike, known in Dutch as "roodkopklauwier." Belonging to the Laniidae family, specifically Lanius senator, this bird earned its name from the Latin term for "butcher," reflecting its hunting habits. Shrikes are often referred to as "butcher birds" due to their unique feeding behavior. This particular print is derived from 'Nederlandsche Vogelen; volgens hunne huisdouding, aert, en eigenschappen beschreeven,' a monumental ornithological work by C. Nozeman, M. Houttuyn, and J.C. Sepp, published between 1770-1829 in Amsterdam. Renowned as a pioneering study in Dutch ornithology during that era, the publication offers comprehensive descriptions of birds, presenting them true to life and set within their natural habitats. These depictions are reputedly close to life-sized, providing a vivid portrayal of the woodchat shrike in its environment. The inclusion of the original text page adds depth to the historical significance of the print, offering insights into the comprehensive study and detailed observations made by the authors. This print stands as a testament to the early and meticulous ornithological studies conducted during the late 18th and early 19th centuries in the Netherlands. Artists and engravers: This monumental work is associated with Christiaan Andreas Sepp, Jan Christiaan Sepp, Jan Sepp, Cornelis Nozeman, Martinus Houttuyn and Coenraad Jacob Temminck. We also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
