This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to February 1952, where we witness an extraordinary bond between a man and his feathered friend. In the frame stands Adolphus Whitchead, the proud owner of a remarkable jackdaw with a wooden leg. This unique creation showcases both Whitchead's ingenuity and compassion towards animals. The image captures the essence of this heartwarming relationship as Adolphus lovingly holds his avian companion.

It is truly a testament to human kindness and determination that such an injured bird could find solace in the care of its devoted caretaker. The photograph not only highlights the unusual circumstances surrounding this duo but also serves as a reminder of our capacity for empathy towards all creatures great and small.
