EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Plucking Ostriches" takes us back to the early 20th century on a farm where men in hats are engaged in a unique and historical practice. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the process of plucking ostrich feathers, an important industry during that time. The photograph reveals a scene of both curiosity and cruelty as farmers carefully work within the enclosure to harvest these valuable feathers. The vibrant plumage contrasts against the rustic backdrop, creating a visual spectacle that is both fascinating and thought-provoking. Postcards featuring this image were popular during this era, serving as glimpses into agricultural practices and rural life. This particular print from a private collection offers us a glimpse into history through the lens of photography. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of the intricate relationship between humans and animals throughout history. It prompts contemplation about our impact on nature for economic gain while also acknowledging the skill and craftsmanship required for such delicate work. With its rich details capturing every aspect of farming life - from pens to enclosures - this photograph serves as not only a reminder of our past but also an invitation to reflect upon our present-day attitudes towards agriculture and animal welfare.
