Cornelis M. Nozeman (1720-1786) was born in Amsterdam and trained as a preacher. While in Haarlem he became a founding member of the Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen (The Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities). While living in Rotterdam he began his great work "Nederlandsche Vogelen. . . " (Birds of the Netherlands). This great work was published by Christiaan Sepp starting in 1770, both the artist and the publisher had passed before it was completed in 1829.
Many of the plates also show the nest & eggs with the bird in its natural environment. "Judging from the publication dates of the five parts (1770, 1789, 1797, 1809 and 1829), the volumes took an extremely long time to produce. During Nozeman's lifetime, five or six plates appeared every year. Nozeman died before the second part was published. He was succeeded by his contemporary, the physician Martinus Houttuyn Sepp (1720-1798).
Given his numerous natural history publications and his well-stocked cabinet of curiosities, he too apparently had a greater interest in this pastime than in his actual profession." "Three generations of the Sepp family, publishers hailing from Germany, were involved in the work shown here, which was published over a period spanning almost sixty years."-Vitrine Library
