About the Item
Antique print titled 'Nidus Pelecani, Carbonis'. This print depicts the bird nest of the Great Black Cormorant (Dutch: nest van de aalscholver). The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the great black cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere, the black cormorant in Australia, the large cormorant in India and the black shag further south in New Zealand, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds.

The birds are depicted as they are in life, said to be depicted close to life sized and in their environment.
