Postcard of 'Pig Fair, Llanidloes 1847' by Hugh Hughes. This painting depicts Llanidloes on Market Day in the 1840s along Great Oak Street. The street is full of pigs and men haggling for prices. Many of the ladies appear to be wearing Welsh national dress with a red bedgown and tall black hat that matches the men. Cerdyn post o ‘Pig fair, Llanidloes 1847' gan Hugh Hughes. Mae’r paentiad hwn yn darlunio Llanidloes ar Ddiwrnod Marchnad yn y 1840au ar hyd Stryd y Dderwen Fawr. Mae'r stryd yn llawn o foch a dynion yn bargeinio am brisiau. Mae’n ymddangos fod llawer o’r merched yn gwisgo gwisg genedlaethol Gymreig gyda betgwn goch a het ddu uchel sy'n cyfateb i'r dynion.
