Pig-stickers, Beware!, 1878
Pig-stickers, Beware!, 1878. Lord Lytton, the Viceroy of India, wearing a topee, tests the point of a spear as his horse rears. The Indians behind him urge him to spear the Afghan Boar which is escaping, passing bears tracks which represent Russia, a useful ally to Britain as it bordered Afghanistan. Below is a poem on pig-sticking, a popular sport during the period of the British Raj in India. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 9, 1878
