Ubiquitous Pig

Pigs have inspired writers from Ovid to Mother Goose, and artists dating from ancient Herculaneum to contemporary Hollywood. Taking an affectionate look at the many-sided relationship between people and pigs, this book includes children's-book illustrations, fine and folk art, toys, piggy banks and photographs from museums, private collections, and dealers in art ephemera. They are accompanied by anecdotes and poetry.
