Rajah Shriner at the Cawston Ostrich Farm, South Pasadena, Calif.

Rajah Shriner at the Cawston Ostrich Farm, South Pasadena, Calif.
A souvenir photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

The souvenir photo category is a favorite of mine, and two of my previous theme park submissions happened to be souvenir photos (see Two Woman Posing for a Boardwalk Souvenir, Atlantic City, N.J. and High over Zurich, Sept. 22, 1910).

This souvenir real photo postcard shows a man wearing a fez and riding an ostrich at the Cawston Ostrich Farm in South Pasadena, California, sometime in the early part of the twentieth century.

The logo on the fez, consisting of a scimitar, crescent, and star, identifies the man as a member of the Shriners. The letters "RAJ" are barely visible above the logo and indicate that he belonged to the Rajah Temple, which was a local Shriners' chapter based in Reading, Pennsylvania, at the time this photo was taken.

For another example of a souvenir photo from the Cawston Ostrich Farm, see ricksoloway's f_cawstonostrichfarm photo on Flickr.
