Proof of a wood engraving on India paper after an illustration by Charles Bennett for D'Arcy W. Thompson's Nursery nonsense, or, Rhymes without reason. London : Griffith and Farran, 1864, p. 3.
Illustrates the lines: A little piggy-wig once went to court, to see the King and Queen: but they said, "Little Pig, you can't come in until your face is clean." So they wheel'd him away in a wheel-barrow to the middle of the Market-place, and they pump'd and pump'd, till there was'nt a speck of dirt upon his face. ....
