With many thanks to
User:Husky<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Husky> some 250
historic images of birds of the Netherlands were donated to Commons earlier this month.
The images come from the book Nederlandsche
Vogelen<http://www.kb.nl/themas/boekkunst-en-geillustreerde-boeken/nederlandsche-vogelen-van-nozeman-en-sepp>
(“Birds of the Netherlands”, 1770-1829) by
Nozeman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Nozeman>an>,
Sepp<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepp_family_%28publishing%29> and
Houttuyn<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martinus_Houttuyn> from the collection of the
national library of The Netherlands.
The images can be found in Category:Nederlandsche vogelen van Nozeman en
Sepp<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nederlandsche_vogelen_v…
For every bird the following names have been added
* Modern scientific name of bird depicted
* Modern English name of bird depicted
* Modern Dutch name of bird depicted
* Dutch name as mentioned in book
* Latin name as mentioned in book
* Items depicted on plate
Because of the Latin names all birds are in their corresponding categories, see or
instance Alauda
arvensis<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Alauda_arvensis>is>. We hope that
the English and Latin names will help uptake on non-Dutch Wiki-projects.
With kind regards
