Chasing Feathers Frightened Humourous Ostrich Ostriches Scared

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "The Feathered Friend in a Fright" created by John Collet in 1779, we are transported to a comical scene filled with chaos and humor. The image captures the unexpected encounter between an ostrich and a group of women, accompanied by their loyal canine companion. As the ostrich frantically flaps its wings, feathers flying in every direction, it is clear that it is not amused by the situation. The women, on the other hand, seem to be enjoying themselves immensely as they chase after the startled bird. Their faces express both mischief and amusement as they playfully engage in this unusual pursuit. Collet's caricature style adds an element of exaggeration to the scene, making it even more humorous. The artist skillfully portrays each character's distinct personality through their exaggerated features and body language. This lighthearted artwork reminds us of the joy found in unexpected moments and highlights our ability to find humor even in situations that may initially cause fright or confusion. It serves as a playful reminder that laughter can bring people together across time periods and cultures. "The Feathered Friend in a Fright" invites viewers into a world where imagination reigns supreme and encourages us all to embrace life's amusing surprises with open arms.
