This is a vintage black and white illustration from a book, likely a children's story. The image depicts a young girl attempting to manage a large ostrich. She is holding the ostrich under her arm, with its legs dangling down. The ostrich's neck is stretched out nicely. In the foreground, a hedgehog is crawling away, and there are several small, doubled-up soldiers walking off to other directions. The scene is accompanied by handwritten text describing the difficulty Alice has in managing the ostrich and the confusing situation with the hedgehog and soldiers.
