The image is of the northern wheatear or wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe). Old name; Motacilla oenanthe.
This is a rare work and contains some of the finest images of birds, ranking among Audubon, Gould and Barraband as the most beautiful bird images of the 18th century. Most birds are engraved close to life-size.This scarce antique print originates from: "Nederlandsche Vogelen",
This monumental work published over a period of 59 years is by Jan Christiaan Sepp ,Christiaan Andreas Sepp, and Jan Sepp, with additional contributions from Cornelis Nozeman, Martinus Houttuyn and Coenraad Jacob Temminck.
Original hand colouring.
Four generations of theSepp family, publishers and artists werenaturalistsorentomologists. The Sepp company became famous for the numerous large natural history collections of plates that appeared between 1768 and 1860. They published translations from English, French and German authors on natural history, prints byPetrus Camper, an anatomist, but also some religious songs.Pieter CramerandCaspar Stoll, also entomologists, had their works published by Sepp.
In the first generation was Christiaan Andreas Sepp (1710 - 1775), born in Goslar, who established a business in Hamburg and Göttingen, and later moved it to Amsterdam where he was known as a as an etcher and engraver of land and sea maps. His son, Jan Christiaan, (born c. 1739) initially worked on his own, collecting and drawing pictures of insects, and on joining the family business, wrote and illustrated Nederlandsche Insecten (in English: Dutch Insects), which appeared from 1762 to 1860, the company's first long-term project. There are similarities with the work of August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof and René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur.
His son, Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739 – 1811), also joined his father's business. Jan Christiaan was an engraver, etcher, bookseller, author as well as illustrator for Nederlandsche Vogelen (in English: Dutch Birds).
The price for the 5 volume set of Nederlandsche Vogelen was 525 Dutch guilders. It must have held the record for being the most expensive book published in the Netherlands for a very long time.
