About the Item

Got Yer You Old Badmash! By Snaffles, Pig Sticking. A fine signed Snaffles Pigsticking lithograph titled 'Got Yer You Old Badmash!'. This picture depicts a rider spearing a pig from horse back. Another rider is dismounting to help whilst another can be seen coming through the bush. There is a small remarque in the bottom right hand corner of a dismounted rider refreshing himself from an Indian water carrier. This Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne (1884 1967) picture is in very good condition and framed in black frame with a Snaffles signature in pencil in the bottom left hand corner with the Snaffles blindstamp (a bridle bit). There were several Victorian, Edwardian artists who illustrated the sport for magazines and prints, most notably Lionel Edwards and Snaffles (Charles Johnson Payne). Pig sticking, the hunting of wild pig by mounted spearmen, was a popular, exciting and sometimes dangerous pastime of cavalrymen and was a popular recreation for British officers in India. According to the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, it was actively encouraged by military authorities as good training. In India pig-sticking events took place, the most famous of which was the Kadir Challenge Cup which was the highest honour in the sport of pig-sticking or hog-hunting and the ultimate ambition of any pig sticker was to win it. The most famous winner of the cup being Sir Robert Baden-Powell in 1883 (Lord Baden-Powell was a lieutenant-general in the British Army in India and Africa, he was also the founder of the Scout Movement in 1906). He wrote a book on the sport called 'Pig-Sticking or Hog-Hunting: A Complete Account for Sportsmen - And Others', published in 1924. Also in a chapter on pig sticking in his autobiography, Lessons from the Varsity of Life (1933), he wrote: "Yes, hog-hunting is a brutal sport - and yet I loved it, as I loved also the fine old fellow I fought against".
