- Abstract
-
"A sow takes in its teeth the coat-tails of a fat parson who lies face downward on the stones of the sty. From his pocket projects a 'Tything Table'. Three small pigs scamper about the sty. A yokel in a smock-frock enters with a raised club to release the parson. Another with a pitchfork leans over the low paling with a grin; a small boy much amused looks over; a woman with a child in her arms watches with amusement."--British Museum online catalogue
