EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1930 by Underwood & Underwood, we see the enchanting British actress Isla Bevan holding an exotic goose. The image captures a moment of whimsy and curiosity as Isla delicately cradles the peculiarly plumed "Floradora Goose" during the 41st annual Poultry Show at Madison Square Garden. Contrary to popular belief, this striking creature is not an ostrich but rather a unique breed of goose known for its ornate plumage. Isla's gentle embrace showcases her affinity for animals and adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The backdrop of New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden lends an air of grandeur to this snapshot from history. As one of America's most prestigious poultry shows, it attracted enthusiasts from all walks of life who marveled at the variety and beauty displayed by these feathered creatures. This photograph serves as a reminder that nature's wonders are not limited to wild landscapes but can also be found in unexpected places like bustling cities. It encapsulates the timeless bond between humans and animals while highlighting Isla Bevan's grace and charm. Preserved within private collections, this remarkable image continues to captivate viewers with its blend of artistry and natural beauty. Bridgeman Images ensures that such treasures remain accessible for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate moments frozen in time like this one with Isla Bevan and her extraordinary Floradora Goose.
