EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graced the cover of Tatler magazine in 1912, featuring the elegant and adventurous Lady Moya Campbell, nee Brown. Daughter of Lord and Lady Altamont, Lady Moya is seen riding atop an ostrich at Ampthill House, the Bedfordshire estate of Anthony Wingfield. Ampthill House was renowned for its remarkable private zoo, home to a diverse array of exotic and bizarre animals. Lady Moya's daring ride on the large, flightless bird is a testament to her fearless spirit and love for the unconventional. Her aristocratic grace is on full display as she effortlessly balances atop the ostrich, her flowing skirt billowing in the wind. The image exudes an air of excitement and adventure, transporting viewers to a bygone era of society's most unusual pastimes. The Tatler cover, with its striking image of Lady Moya and her ostrich, was a reflection of the magazine's commitment to showcasing the latest trends and fashions, as well as the more unconventional pursuits of the aristocracy. The cover's bold design and daring subject matter captured the attention of readers and solidified Tatler's reputation as a leading society publication. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and their fascination with the exotic and bizarre. The image remains as captivating today as it was over a century ago, a testament to the enduring allure of the unusual and the power of a single image to transport us to another time and place.
