The bird’s-nester is up a tree, both metaphorically and actually. He has thrown the nest to the ground, where four children are examining it by the side of the road; but the presence of a man with a dog seems to indicate to this young destroyer of homes what he may expect when he descends. On the left is a cottage, which is a thatched one, surrounded by leafy and lovely trees. It is difficult to obtain a really good print. <\/p>\n

The print is signed on the bottom right centre. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
