EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and whimsical print titled "Ostrich Feathers" artist John Hassall takes us on a journey to the enchanting world of the zoo. The vibrant colour lithograph captures a scene from Walter Emanuel's book, "The Zoo" published in 1904. Amidst lush gardens and an animal-filled enclosure, we see two women dressed in fashionable attire, sporting hats adorned with extravagant ostrich feathers. Their stylish clothes add a touch of elegance to the playful atmosphere surrounding them. With a hint of humor, Hassall invites us to imagine these magnificent birds as entertainers within their cage. The ostriches seem almost aware of their role as they curiously observe their captivated audience. One can't help but wonder if they are secretly enjoying being the center of attention! This charming image not only showcases fashion trends of its time but also highlights the amusing connection between humans and animals. It reminds us that even within the confines of a zoo, there is room for laughter and entertainment. As we gaze upon this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where zoological wonders were celebrated alongside human creativity. Let it serve as a reminder that art has always found inspiration in nature's beauty and that sometimes, even animals can bring joy through their mere presence.
