PIG PIGS of Music Art Literature, The Hampshire Hogs Hog, Folk Race Old PostcardVintage Colour Art Artist Drawn Old Postcard. Hampshire. Comic Humour. The Hampshire Hogs, Piglet, PIGS & Wine Barrel. The origin of this name seems to have evolved from the extraordinary intelligence of which the Hampshire folk firmly believed their pigs to be possessed of Music, Art and Literature, Music came an easy first, & whenever the military bands from Portsmouth passed along the highway, there was instant commotion among the good country folk. The pigs must hear the band. - A race for the stys! The pigs were dragged, driven, or carried to the best vantage point. That they fully appreciated the Music, their goodhearted owners had no doubt whatever, & we can imagine the good old soul on the left of the picture saying : Oh! listen to the band!.Publisher: R. Wilkinson & Co. Trowbridge
