Antique Ornithological Print of the Female Common Kestrel, 1809
About the Item
The antique print titled 'Falco Tinnunculus, Foemina' is a historical depiction of the female common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), a bird of prey belonging to the kestrel group within the falcon family Falconidae. This species is also referred to as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In the context of Britain, where it is the sole kestrel species, it is commonly known as "the kestrel."
**Key Aspects of the Print:**
1. **Ornithological Illustration**: This print is an ornithological illustration that provides a detailed and accurate representation of the female common kestrel. It aims to capture the bird's physical characteristics, plumage, and features specific to its gender.
2. **Scientific Precision**: Ornithological prints of this nature were created with a strong emphasis on scientific precision. The goal was to present an authentic portrayal of the bird species, aiding in its identification and study.
3. **Natural History Context**: The print is part of 'Nederlandsche Vogelen; volgens hunne huisdouding, aert, en eigenschappen beschreeven' (translated as "Dutch Birds; described according to their habits, nature, and properties"), a significant ornithological work published in Amsterdam from 1770 to 1829. This work played a pivotal role in advancing the study of birds in the Netherlands during that era.
4. **Authors**: The publication is credited to C. Nozeman, M. Houttuyn, and J.C. Sepp, who contributed to the understanding of birds in their natural habitats. The illustrations in this work are considered to be close to life-sized and depict birds within their environments.
5. **Historical Significance**: As an antique print, it offers historical insights into the study of birds, ornithology, and the scientific understanding of avian species during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
6. **Educational Value**: This antique bird print serves as both a scientific document and an educational resource for ornithologists, bird enthusiasts, and those interested in the history of natural history studies.
7. **Preservation of Avian Knowledge**: Antique bird prints like this one contribute to the preservation of historical knowledge about bird species and their visual representation.
Overall, the 'Falco Tinnunculus, Foemina' antique print is a valuable artifact in the field of ornithology and natural history.
