Original title of the Wilhelm Busch story: 'Müller und Schornsteinfeger (485)'.
Le cochon voyageur - Der Bauer und sein Schwein. The farmer and his pig.
12 magic lantern slides with black and white drawings, dimensions 10 x 8.5 cm, made by a French manufacturer, possibly E. Mazo in Paris, after the story 'Der Bauer und sein Schwein' by Wilhelm Busch. The images on the slides are clearly made after the drawings of Busch, but do not entirely correspond with them. You can find a coloured version of these slides in the item 'Animal Stories'.	In the original story, the farmer gets beaten at the end. In this magic lantern version, that's the pig.


Ein Bauer treibt in guter Ruh' Ein fettes Schwein der Heimat zu.	Bei einem Wirte kehrt er ein Und kauft sich einen Branntewein.	Da zieht das Schwein, der Bauer fällt, Weil er sich auf das Seil gestellt.

Des Wirtes Nachbar und sein Sohn Die warten auf die Knödel schon.	Auf einmal kommt herein die Sau Und stösst die gute Nachbarsfrau. Sie stösst, mit schrecklichem Gebrumm', Das Kind, den Tisch, und Nachbarn um.	Heraussen steht das Bauerlein Und wartet auf sein fettes Schwein.


Das Schwein Läuft aus der Tür heraus, Der Bauer reitet fort im Saus.	Dem Schweine kommt das lästig vor, Drum wälzt es sich im feuchten Moor.	Ans Ufer springt das Böse Schwein, Der Bauer mühsam hinterdrein.

Ins Schildershaus verkriecht es sich, Der Bauer spricht: "Jetzt hab ich dich!"	Der Wirt, Soldat und Nachbarsmann, Die greifen jetzt den Bauer an.	Doch endlich schlachtet man das Schwein, Da freute sich das Bauerlein.
