About this plate
Grote Zeemeeuw is plate 1 of Nederlandsche Vogelen, Vol. 3 by Cornelius Nozeman (1797). Today the species is known as the European Herring Gull. This facsimile is made from the copy in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and printed at the size of the original sheet, 21¾ × 14½ in (55 × 37 cm).
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 3 was published in 1797, with text by Martinus Houttuyn (1720-1798), who continued the work after Nozeman’s death; its plates include geese, crows, snipes and the crossbill.
