Thought for the day

The fourth and final picture in William Hogarth's Humours of an Election (click for a larger view) shows the successful Tory candidate being carried through the town in a chair, from which he is about to fall, because his bearers have run into a fight in the street. Meanwhile, a family of pigs seem to have emerged from under the chair and are rushing across the scene.

Thank you, Mr Hogarth.
