Actor wearing the cat mask looks longingly at a paper mache bird on a perch. Glue marks on the edges of the paper show where crop strips may once have been. Text below the image reads: "I resisted my instinct to eat the little bird and instead, with great ceremony, brought the nightingale directly to the Emperor."
These photographs were taken to be part of a children's book that was never completed.Collection
