EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 19th century rebus image, titled "Game / Rebus / 19C," presents a humorous and historical scene that challenges the viewer to decipher its hidden meaning. The photograph captures a poor old man in the early 19th century, dressed in traditional attire, as he drives a pig to market with a string tied to its toe. The man's determined expression and the pig's resigned demeanor suggest a routine and familiar journey. However, the tranquility of the scene is disrupted by an unexpected accident. The man, with a look of surprise and disbelief, chases after the pig as it escapes, leaving the string dangling from its leg. The word "sum" at the bottom of the image adds an element of mystery, implying that this mishap was not an ordinary occurrence. The rebus nature of the image, with its clever use of words and pictures, invites the viewer to engage with the past and exercise their problem-solving skills. The words "Game / Rebus / 19C" at the top of the image suggest that this is a puzzle or riddle, and the scene itself can be seen as a visual representation of the words "piggy" and "scaped." This charming and whimsical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and traditions of the 19th century. The photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful reminder of the importance of looking beyond the surface and discovering the hidden stories and meanings that lie within historical images.
