This is a rare 18th Century hand-colored large folio-sized copperplate engraving entitled "Ardea Ciconia" (White Stork) 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 The Ardea ciconia or White Stork, now commonly known as Ciconia ciconia. It is a large stork bird that lives mainly in Europe, Asia and Africa. It commonly migrates long distances on thermal air currents from the colder Northern European climates to Sub-Saharan Africa in the winter, sometimes as far long as Finland to South Africa.
This striking and scarce engraving is printed on 18th century watermarked chain-linked laid paper with wide margins. The sheet measures 20.75" high x 14.25" wide. There is a small faint spot in the lower portion of the right margin, a few tiny, faint, barely visible spots and a tiny pinhole centrally, but it is otherwise in excellent condition. less
