1. Title: "Oliver W.: The Famous Trotting Ostrich of Florida Ostrich Farm, Jacksonville, USA, Circa 1903" 2. Description: This photograph showcases Oliver W., the renowned trotting ostrich from the Florida Ostrich Farm in Jacksonville, USA. Taken circa 1903, this image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the extraordinary abilities of this large, flightless bird. Oliver W. was a celebrity in his own right, known for his impressive speed and agility. In this photograph, he is seen trotting gracefully on a dirt track, his long, powerful legs propelling him forward with ease. His feathers are ruffled from the wind, and his eyes are focused intently on the horizon, giving the impression of a determined and athletic creature. The Florida Ostrich Farm, located in Jacksonville, was one of the first commercial ostrich farms in the United States. Established in the late 1800s, the farm gained popularity for its unique attractions, including ostrich races and tours. Oliver W. was one of the farm's most famous residents, and his performances drew crowds from all over the country. This photograph is a testament to the fascination that ostriches held for Americans during this era. With their exotic appearance and unusual abilities, these birds were a source of wonder and amusement, and farms like the Florida Ostrich Farm capitalized on this curiosity to create unique experiences for visitors.
