EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of excitement and wonder as Oliver W., the famed trotting ostrich, takes passengers for a ride at the Florida Ostrich Farm in Jacksonville, Florida, around the turn of the 20th century. Dressed in their Sunday best, the passengers, likely tourists, eagerly cling to the sides of the ostrich-drawn carriage, their faces filled with anticipation and delight. The ostrich, named Oliver W., was a star attraction at the farm, which was renowned for its unique offerings of ostrich-related products such as feathers, leather, and meat. The image, taken between 1900 and 1910, is a glass dry plate negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it is believed that it was taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were prominent photographers during this era. The photograph is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of this unique moment in American agriculture and transportation history. Ostriches, which are native to Africa, were introduced to the United States in the late 1800s and were farmed for their various products. The Florida Ostrich Farm in Jacksonville was one of the most successful ostrich farms in the country, attracting visitors from far and wide to witness the strange and fascinating creatures up close. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of agriculture, transportation, and tourism that defined America during the early 1900s.
