EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century engraving captures a humorous and heartwarming scene of how keepers in the zoological gardens protected two ostriches from the cold when the heating apparatus failed in winter. The illustration, taken from "Fun in the Animal World" published in London in 1897, showcases anthropomorphism at its best as the keepers are depicted wrapping the ostriches in warm clothing to shield them from the chilly temperatures.
The image not only highlights the creativity and resourcefulness of those caring for animals but also brings a touch of whimsy to an otherwise serious situation. The detailed engravings beautifully capture the essence of winter with its frosty backdrop and bundled-up characters.
As we gaze upon this delightful print, we can't help but smile at the sight of these well-dressed ostriches and their attentive keepers. It serves as a reminder that even in emergencies, there is always room for humor and ingenuity. This piece is a testament to human compassion towards our animal friends and a celebration of camaraderie between species.
Overall, this engraving is a delightful blend of artistry, humor, and warmth that continues to captivate viewers centuries after it was created.
