This is the Aesop's Fable 'The Peacock and the Crane' encapsulated in one drawing. The peacock had been admiring himself asked the crane how he could live with looking so drab. The crane reminded the peacock that although his tail was a fabulous sight, it also caused him great problems in flight, whereas the crane could soar above countries and cities and the peacock could not. I designed this in the shape of a church window and with an old English type face which can be found in churches to give a nod to the morality and wisdom of the Aesop's tales.
