EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique form of communication from the early 19th century - a rebus. The image shows a scene where a poor old man is driving a pig to market, with a string tied to its leg. However, by some accident, the pig manages to escape and the man frantically runs after it. The rebus then cleverly spells out the humorous outcome - "BUTT PIGgy sCAPEd... now read on."
Rebuses were popular forms of visual puzzles used in historical times as a way to convey messages or stories through pictures and symbols. This particular rebus showcases not only the creativity of communication in that era but also provides insight into daily life and activities.
The intricate details in this print offer viewers an opportunity to delve into the past and appreciate how people communicated before modern technology took over. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when written words were combined with images to create engaging narratives.
Overall, this print is not just an example of historical writing but also a delightful glimpse into the art of storytelling through visual cues. It's truly fascinating how such simple yet clever illustrations can capture our imagination and bring history alive before our eyes.
