Antique print titled 'tringa, gambetta'. The spotted redshank (tringa erythropus) is a wader (shorebird) in the large bird family scolopacidae. The genus name tringa is the new latin name given to the green sandpiper by aldrovandus in 1599 based on ancient greek trungas, a thrush-sized, white-rumped, tail-bobbing wading bird mentioned by aristotle. The specific erythropus is from ancient greek eruthros, "red", and pous, "foot". 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. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
