Question about Nursery Rhyme This Little Piggy

Huh. For us, the wee wee wee part involved pulling and wiggling the little piggy in question.

I missed that detail – and it’s the sort of thing I usually notice.

– wait a minute: the fourth one down shows three pigs at a market, but the one who appears most clearly to be a vendor I think is female. (And chickens were usually women’s business, at the time.)

Sorry, that’s Morris.

I saw it as two well dressed men pigs engaging in some sort of Very Important Business/Commerce with a woman browsing in the background. I’ll defer to your knowledge of mid-19th century chicken sales though. Seriously, I don’t know nothing about that context.
