EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 18th century print, titled "Toby, the Learned Pig at Bartholomew Fair," showcases a curious and intelligent-looking pig named Toby, who was a popular attraction at the famed Bartholomew Fair in London during the 18th century. The fair, which took place annually from August 24 to September 1, was a time of merriment and entertainment for the people of London, and Toby, the learned pig, was one of its most fascinating exhibits. The print depicts Toby sitting at a small table, surrounded by various objects that were said to be evidence of his intelligence. These include a globe, a clock, a deck of cards, and a set of curtains. Toby is shown wearing a collar and a small cap, further emphasizing his human-like qualities. The backdrop of the print is adorned with elaborate curtains, adding to the theatrical atmosphere of the fair. The clock in the print indicates the passage of time, reminding us that Toby's act was a popular attraction for visitors to the fair. The globe represents Toby's supposed ability to identify different countries and continents, while the deck of cards suggests his skill at playing games. The inclusion of the curtains may be a nod to the theatrical performances that were also a part of the fair. Despite the debates among historians about the authenticity of Toby's supposed intelligence, the print remains an intriguing snapshot of 18th century popular culture and the fascination with the unusual and the intelligent. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich history of Bartholomew Fair, which was an important social and cultural event in London for centuries.
