This enchanting image, dated 1905, brings the tale to life and invites the viewer to step into the magical world of Barham's imagination. Set against the backdrop of the medieval city of Rheims in France, the scene unfolds as a cunning jackdaw perches atop the ancient city walls, gazing intently at the bustling marketplace below. Surrounded by the intricately detailed architecture of the city, the bird's sharp eyes seem to hold a secret, as if privy to the hidden stories and intrigues that lie within the walls.
