"A semicircle of spectators, seated and standing, crowded one behind the other, watch the performance of the pig, who stands before a row of initial letters, one of which he holds in his mouth. Over the chimney-piece is a placard, 'The Surprising PIG well versed in all Languages, perfect Arethmatician Mathematician & Composer of Musick'. On the right wall of the room hangs a large shoe."--British Museum online catalogue
