Thought this pic of land girls (?) with pigs might be of interest to someone on here.
I got a dozen various black and white framed prints -

3 land girls (?) with baskets in field
All the rest are circa 1900 pictures
3 cheerful chaps with flat caps and clay demijons
5 millworkers, a dog, a cat and a horse stood by some big bags of grain
Bearded bloke with a ginormous cricket bat
Old bloke in gateway with collie dog
2 men in trilbies sitting in motorcycle and sidecar
Victorian girl with pushbike infront of greenhouse
Old lady pushing another old lady in horse cart thru water
Brewery worker sitting on barrel with tankard in hand
Dozen Victorian (?) children sitting on wall

Saved from the skip so any offers accepted.

Same people that would skip unopened commemorative Charles and Di beers, silver jubilee beers, a collection of unopened coca-cola bottles from around the world and some bottles of liqueur ( hic )

Is barter an option or do you require nasty cold hard cash?
Fancy swapping one or two for soaps or other goodies?

Postage on that pic will be about £7.50 (2.5kg )
Swap you for couple of rats ?. I'm catless at the mo but plan to get a replacement soon.
