EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1909 takes us back in time to an ostrich farm in Madagascar, where the practice of plucking feathers from these majestic birds was a common sight. The image captures a moment of historical significance, shedding light on the fashion trends of the era.
Intriguingly, some fashionable ladies would adorn their hats with whole ostriches, but due to the difficulty involved in pinning such large birds onto headwear, only a few feathers were typically used instead. This unique glimpse into past customs and styles offers a fascinating perspective on how people expressed themselves through clothing and accessories.
The scene is bustling with activity as individuals carefully pluck feathers from the ostriches, showcasing both skill and precision. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the feathers add to the visual appeal of this snapshot from another time.
