Summary
One of two illustrations, drawn on loose sheets of plain paper which were slipped into the exercise book HIL.R.16 at the end of the text. Both are preliminary drawings for the illustration of Aunt Pettitoes watching the piglets feed from a trough (HIL.RP.19). This is the sketchier of the two illustrations. On the back of the sheet is a rough sketch giving a very general impression of the same scene. See also HIL.RP.19, the illustration; HIL.R.16, the manuscript exercise book; HIL.17.1, HIL.17.2, other manuscripts of The Tale of Pigling Bland
