EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Cock fighting in Cairo" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Egypt. The colour litho, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a scene filled with energy and intensity. In this image, we witness the ancient tradition of cock fighting being embraced by the people of Cairo. Men dressed in traditional Arab attire gather around as two majestic roosters engage in a fierce battle for dominance. The spectators are enthralled, their eyes fixed on the spectacle before them. Amidst the smoke-filled air, we see men puffing on their pipes, adding to the atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. This form of entertainment was not without controversy, as it involved cruelty towards animals. However, it remains an integral part of Egyptian culture and history. The composition captures every detail meticulously - from the intricate costumes worn by both humans and birds to the expressions etched on each face present at this eventful gathering. It is evident that cock fighting held great significance within Egyptian society during that time. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported to a different era where sports like these were celebrated forms of leisure and competition. It serves as a reminder of how traditions shape our understanding of cultures past and present while also raising questions about ethical practices surrounding animal rights.
