Antique Bird Print of the Common Blackbird by Sepp & Nozeman, 1770
About the Item
Antique print titled ‘Turdus ater Merule'. This print depicts the common blackbird with nest and eggs (Dutch: merel). The common blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush. The male of the nominate subspecies, which is found throughout most of Europe, is all black except for a yellow eye-ring and bill and has a rich, melodious song; the adult female and juvenile have mainly dark brown plumage. This print originates from 'Nederlandsche Vogelen; volgens hunne huisdouding, aert, en eigenschappen beschreeven"", Amsterdam, 1770-1829 by C. Nozeman, M. Houttuyn and J.C. Sepp. This is the most important and first study in the Netherlands of ornithology at that time. The birds are depicted as they are in life, said to be depicted close to life sized and in their environment.
