The illustration treats the Norwich skyline as a living stage, where the weight of historical stone meets the soaring presence of dragons.

By placing these creatures within a recognizable geographic location, the work invites a sense of epic storytelling into the urban landscape, suggesting that even the most familiar streets harbor ancient secrets within their shadows.
