Wenda and Ostriches, South Africa 1951 by Norman Parkinson. “On location in Africa Mrs Parkinson was posed on the back of an ostrich which turned out to move at an incredible speed. As she disappeared into the distance clinging on for dear life, her husband, intent on his view-finder, was heard to cry after her, “More profile, Wenda! More profile!”’
