Photo Souvenir of Dr. Waldo the Human Ostrich, with Negative. Circa 1951. Souvenir photo of Waldo, accompanied by the original negative in sleeve with typed title and date. 5 x 3 5/8?. Waldo worked at various amusement parks including Chicago?s Riverview Park, with an act in which he regurgitated living white mice and goldfish, along with spectators? loose change, watches, and other borrowed items. Regurgitating these little valuables along with the mouse allowed Waldo to unsubtly ask for a little extra in tips.
