About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Garrulus'. This print depicts the garrulus bird with nest and eggs. Garrulus is a genus of Old World jays, passerine birds in the family Corvidae.

This print originates from 'Nederlandsche Vogelen; volgens hunne huisdouding, aert, en eigenschappen beschreeven", Amsterdam, 1770-1829 by C. Nozeman, M. Houttuyn and J.C. Sepp. This is the most important and first study in the Netherlands of ornithology at that time. The birds are depicted as they are in life, said to be depicted close to life sized and in their environment.
