This is a rare 18th Century hand-colored large folio-sized copperplate engraving entitled "Anas Crecca" (Eurasian Teal) by Cornelius Nozeman in volume II of his publication 'Nederlandsche Vogelen', engraved by Christiaan Sepp or his son Jan Christiaan Sepp, published in Amsterdam in 1770. This engraving depicts a female Eurasian Teal duck standing on guard next to her nest containing four eggs. She appears to have been alerted to a possible danger behind her. The Anas crecca or Eurasian teal is also known as the common teal or Eurasian green-winged teal and sometimes simply a teal because of it is commonly a blue-green (teal) color.
The engraving is printed on thick, watermarked, laid, chain-link paper with wide margins. It is in excellent condition.
The work took nearly 60 years to complete all five volumes. The first two volumes were created by Nozeman and Sepp and after they died by Dr. Martinus Houttuyn & C. J. Temminck worked on subsequent volumes, volume V completed in 1829. The work is very scarce with one of the last complete sets selling for $92,000 at auction. less
