EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a beloved Spanish sport known as the "Gallumbo". Taken in the 19th century, this engraving by English School showcases the fervor and excitement that surrounded this popular pastime. Intriguing street scenes come to life as men clad in traditional attire proudly parade through town, their faces beaming with joy. The principal amateur bullfighter leads the way, displaying his agility and fearlessness. People from all walks of life gather in cafes and squares to witness this thrilling spectacle. The image depicts a moment during one of Spain's famous bull runs, where brave individuals challenge fate by facing these majestic creatures head-on. The gallant bulls charge forward with horns held high, while courageous participants attempt to tame them using nothing but a rope.
