Antique costume print titled 'Gardeur de Porcs Magyar'.

The Mangalica (also Mangalitsa or Mangalitza) is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig. It was developed in the mid 19th century by crossbreeding Hungarian breeds from Nagyszalonta and Bakony with the European wild boar and the Serbian Šumadija breed. The Mangalica pig grows a thick, curly coat of hair. The only other pig breed noted for having a long coat is the extinct lincolnshire curly coat pig of England.

Old print depicting a Magyar pig keeper. This print originates from 'Costumes Moderne (Musée de Costumes).
