The work originally created for her own grandchildren, is an adventure of two sisters named Ilse and Adah, who find a golden birdcage in their grandmother's barn. The used black-and-white photographs taken by artist were - in addition - illustrated using the technique of old-fashioned color hand tinting.[1]
