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:**

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.

- Antique John Gould Ornithological Myiabeillia Hummingbird Lithograph PrintBy John GouldLocated in Dayton, OH"Antique mid to late 19th century colored lithograph print of Myiabeillia typica (Abeille's Hummingbird) drawn by John Gould, lithographed by H.C. Richter, printed by Hullmandel & Walton. From A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Hummingbirds, published in London circa 1849-61 (supplement printed 1880-87). “John Gould was a prolific illustrator of ornithology and was noted for the beauty of his illustrations. During his lifetime he was responsible for the illustration of over 2,200 different species of birds from around the world. The work for which he is best known is his Monograph of the Trochilidae or the ""Family of Hummingbirds"", which was produced between 1849-1861. Each hand-colored lithograph, many of which are highlighted with shimmering iridescence, presents the tiny jewel-like birds visiting lush flowers and foliage.” “Henry Constantine Richter (7 June 1821 – 16 March 1902) was an English zoological illustrator who produced a very large number of skillful coloured lithographs of birds and mammals, mainly for the scientific books of the renowned English 19th century ornithologist John Gould. Many of the original drawings used by Richter as the basis for his coloured lithographs were by Gould's wife, Elizabeth Coxen, produced before her death in 1841.[1][2] Richter's reputation was overshadowed by that of his much-celebrated employer. Since it was not customary to acknowledge illustrators alongside authors in the titles of publications, his name was forgotten. But in 1978, his great ability and the extent of his contribution to Gould's work came to light, in the work of the researcher Christine E. Jackson.” “Hullmandel & Walton – Lithographic printers, in London. According to BBTI this partnership operated from 1818...Category
