Figure descriptions
Rectangular headpiece. At the center, a baby is trapped in a bird cage. The baby clutches
the bars with his hands and feet.
Two trees grow at the left and the right of the cage. Their branches extend upward
and outward, forming a dense leafy canopy. At the
left side of the illustration, two large cockatoos perch on a branch adjacent to the
cage and look toward the baby. Small birds
perch on branches further away from the baby; one bird looks at the baby and the other
spreads its wings and looks to the sky. On
the ground, four birds stand, flap their wings, and spread their plumage. On the ground,
further away from the baby, one squirrel
feeds a nut to another squirrel. The birds and animals are almost mirrored on the
right side of the caged baby. The only major
difference is that the cockatoos are replaced by parrots. All the illustrative content
in this scene is set against a dark
background decorated with small light dots. 1/4 page.
