About the Item

JOHANN ANDREAS NAUMANN (1744-1826) JOHANN FREDERICH NAUMANN (1780-1857) NATURGESCHICHTE DER VOGEL MITTELEUROPAS WITH PLATES BY: Keulemans, Kleinschmidt, Geisler, Von Riesenthal, De Maes and Goering GERMANY, 180 CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY Johann Friedrich Naumann (1780 - 1857) was a German scientist and editor. Highly regarded as the founder of scientific ornithology in Europe, Naumann has often been referred to as the ‘Father of Ornithology”. His presentation shows the birds in their natural settings. Naumann employed renowned bird artists of his time such as. Keulemans, Kleinschmidt, Geisler, Von Riesenthal, De Maes and Goering. The resulting tome included over 400 plates. So popular was this work that it enjoyed a second printing less than 20 years later. Its relevancy was undisputed. Naturgeschicte der Land- Und Wasser- Vogel Des Nordlichen Deutschlands un Angranaender Lander, Naumann the elder’s work, was first published in 1795-1817. Naturgeschichte der Vogel Mitteleuropas, or Natural History of Central European Birds, was and published in various formats between 1797 and 1817. Buchanan and Fisher describe this later second edition as the ". . . most scholarly and complete ornithological text book of its time (perhaps of any time)." Reference: Fine Bird Books (1700-1900). Sacheverell Sitwell, Handasyde Buchanan and James Fisher. Atlantic Monthly Press, 1990
