About this plate

Kiekendief is plate 8 of Nederlandsche Vogelen, Vol. 1 by Cornelius Nozeman (1770). Today the species is known as the Western Marsh Harrier. 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 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.
