EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ostriches and Eggs" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. Captured by an anonymous South African photographer, this image showcases a scene from daily life in the Transvaal region. The photograph depicts a group of ostriches surrounded by their enormous eggs, providing a glimpse into the unique wildlife found in this part of Africa during that time period. The intricate details captured through gravure printing allow us to appreciate the texture of the ostrich feathers and the delicate nature of these large eggs. Originally published as an illustration for "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" a book released by The Art Photo-Publishing Company around 1890, this image offers insight into both historical events and natural wonders. It serves as a testament to the rich history and diverse wildlife that existed in South Africa during this era. Preserved within a private collection, this rare photograph invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in an authentic moment from African history. With its timeless appeal, it reminds us of our connection with nature while also highlighting photography's ability to capture fleeting moments forever.
