ok this wins Best Question of the Week

Reposted from Very Distinctive Anti-Fascist Fuckery

@themerl.bsky.social You wouldn't happen to know the provenance of this? The note on it says "A pig photobombs a rural wedding, location unknown, but somewhere in England, 1927."

What we need is a pig expert to identify the breed. Is it a Welsh or a British Lop?

Currently on S5 of All Creatures Great and Small, and this seems like it should be happening in an episode.

To link to and cite those sources instead of screen-capturing them:

A copy of the black-and-white pigture can currently be seen at https://imgur.com/pig-ran-through-grandmas-wedding-photo-1927-CNdahzr (posted May 17 2019, but I see no way to tell who posted it, unless CNdahzr is the user).

The Reddit post being screenshotted was https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/11dadiv/a_pig_photo_bombing_a_wedding_in_the_1940s/ja8qtvl/ from https://www.reddit.com/user/notbob1959 on 27 Feb 2023. The link in blue pointed to a previous Reddit post that had the B&W, but it has been posted multiple times on Reddit. I can't find a better image of the album insert. 2/2
