My heart is a little mouse in an abandoned ship

Keen to smell cats, Jealous to rats

Witness took an oath inside a vacant court

Not accustomed to hardship, rhinos

Little mouse is gallant for golden fish

Spread my eyes on muddy puddles

To prevent the hardship if your cross

White pigeon reads anecdotes to geese chicks

Black cats flirting with classmates

This is an amazing retouching skill for the period. But to me it is nothing but collage and retouching which proves the quality of the work.
Among other things, several seconds were needed for the exposure of this photo to take place (this is not taken by iPhone mind you!) and that would have blurred the picture completely unless you really believe our Hercules, not only could lift these guys that way, but could hold them in that position for several seconds without moving!
This is in Qajar period... filling-in for RedWine!
