Antique Bird Print of a Graceful Smew or Duck by Sepp & Nozeman, 1809
About the Item
Title: "Elegant Smew - Mergellus Albellus"
Description: This antique print showcases the "Smew" (Dutch: nonnetje), a captivating species of duck known for its elegance and striking appearance. The Smew, scientifically named Mergellus albellus, belongs to the unique genus Mergellus, with "albellus" derived from the Latin word "albus," meaning "white." The print offers a detailed and lifelike portrayal of this remarkable waterfowl.
Originating from the esteemed work "Nederlandsche Vogelen; volgens hunne huisdouding, aert, en eigenschappen beschreeven," published in Amsterdam between 1770 and 1829, this print is a testament to the early studies of ornithology in the Netherlands. It provides an accurate representation of the Smew in its natural habitat, emphasizing its true-to-life proportions and surroundings.
The collaboration of accomplished artists and engravers, including Christiaan Andreas Sepp, Jan Christiaan Sepp, Jan Sepp, Cornelis Nozeman, Martinus Houttuyn, and Coenraad Jacob Temminck, contributes to the scientific and artistic significance of this work. Through their efforts, this print not only captures the essence of the Smew but also enriches the understanding of avian life during its era.
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.
