The elder lad has tamed a white dove and he is showing his ragamuffin younger brother how to treat the bird to a few crumbs. As the Italian population emerged from the horrors of World War 2 they had very little to make life bearable but the wild life and flora which grows abundantly is always a source of solace. Cappé returned from the prisoner of war camp in Russia 4 years after the war ended and was aware of the deprivation of his people and how to draw comfort from very little.

Also known by it's Italian name 'Gruppo di Bimbi' and was first issued in 1959. Height = 19cm, Width = 13cm
