Sepp publishing family

They published translations from English, French and German authors on natural history, prints by Petrus Camper, an anatomist, but also some religious songs.

In the first generation was Christiaan Andreas Sepp (c. 1710-2 August 1775), born in Goslar, the son of a conrector, who established himself shortly in Hamburg and Göttingen,[1] but before 1739 in Amsterdam as an etcher and engraver of land and sea maps.

There are similarities with the work of August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof and René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur.

In 1777 he was one of the founders of Felix Meritis, a "club" where artists and scientist gathered or discussed, with an eminent building on Keizersgracht.

Jan Christiaan was an engraver, etcher, bookseller, author as well as illustrator for Nederlandsche Vogelen (in English: Dutch Birds).
