Tall-tale Postcard: Riding a Pig
| Two girls wearing white dresses ride a pig, sitting back-to-back. One girl holds the pig's tail and the other holds its ears. A boy pokes the pig's haunch with a pitchfork. In front, a barefoot boy lures the pig down the road with a husk of corn. Red text in the upper left bears the inscription, "Scene on the road near Enok, Minn." |
