The Bald-Like Snapping Bird on a Hand-Colored Lithograph, circa 1820
About the Item
The image is an original lithograph by Carl Wilhelm Hahn. This print is titled "Procnias ventralis, Illg" and is referred to as "Der kahlichtige Schnappvogel" which can be translated to "The Bald-Like Snapping Bird." The bird depicted is a member of the cotinga family, known for their diverse and often brightly colored plumage and found primarily in South and Central America.
The term "Procnias ventralis" refers to a scientific name, and while "Procnias" is indeed a genus of birds within the cotinga family, the species "ventralis" does not appear to match known species within this genus. The term "Illg" could be an abbreviation or reference to the naturalist who either discovered the species or provided a description for Hahn's work.
This print comes from Hahn's ornithological collection, "Vögel aus Asien, Africa, America & Neuholland in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen," which included birds from various regions of the world.

- Hand-Colored Antique Illustrations of Various Rodent-like Animals, circa 1820Located in Langweer, NLOriginal antique print of mouse species / mice and other rodents. This engraved print originates from a very rare unknown Dutch work. The plates are similar to the plates in the famous German work: ‘Bilderbuch fur Kinder' by F.J. Bertuch, published 1790-1830 in Weimar. This could be Dutch edition of this work (no references found), or a work that used the Bertuch plates. Published circa 1820. This engraving described in more detail: The print features six illustrations of various rodent-like animals. They are not all mice; they represent a range of rodent species, which can be inferred from their different physical characteristics: 1. The largest animal at the top left looks like a type of pika or a chinchilla due to its rounded ears and body shape. 2. The second illustration on the top right is a curled-up animal, which might be a dormouse based on its compact body and fur texture. 3. The animal at the center-right with prominent ears and elongated body could be a type of rat or a gerbil. 4. The creature in the middle left with large hind legs and long ears appears to be a jerboa, which is known for its distinctive jumping movement. 5. The bottom left animal resembles a vole...Category
