Ostrich 1891 Avocado Print Victorian entomology and natural historyIn the late 19th century, ostriches were symbols of the exotic and the fashionable their feathers appearing everywhere from theatre costumes to high society millinery. This 1891 ostrich illustration has that classic Victorian natural history feel: elegant linework, proud posture, and a wonderfully timeless look that suits a study, hallway, or a gallery wall of vintage wildlife prints.
