About the original

Nederlandsche Vogelen was the first comprehensive account of the birds of the Netherlands: five volumes with 250 hand-coloured copper engravings, published in Amsterdam between 1770 and 1829. Cornelius Nozeman (1720-1786), a Remonstrant minister, wrote the text of the first two volumes; three generations of the Sepp family drew, engraved and published the plates.

Volume 1 appeared in 1770, with plates by Christiaan Sepp, published by his son Jan Christiaan. Each volume has an engraved title page and 50 plates of single birds, life-size where possible, often with nests and eggs.
