Cover photograph of "Oink" by Roger Hargreaves (a part of the Timbuctoo series of children's books).

This image is based on a straightforward mechanical reproduction of the cover art found on EBay. It has been cropped and level-corrected. (As can be seen, there is nothing here which wasn't in the original cover art.)
