EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the vibrant atmosphere of a bullfight at the Plaza de toros de la Fuente del Berro in Madrid. This print captures the essence of this controversial and traditional Spanish sport that has divided opinions for centuries. The image transports us to a bygone era, where men dressed as matadors bravely faced off against powerful bulls. The arena is filled with an eager audience, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and anticipation. It's a snapshot frozen in time, showcasing not only the spectacle but also the cultural significance of bullfighting in Spain during the late 19th century. Although considered cruel by some, it cannot be denied that bullfighting was an integral part of Spanish entertainment and occupation at that time. The unknown creator skillfully captured both the grandeur and intensity within this blood sport through monochrome photography. As we gaze upon this historical photograph from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" published by George Newnes Ltd. , London in 1895, we are reminded of how our world has evolved over time. This print serves as a reminder of traditions past while sparking conversations about animal welfare and changing societal values. It is through images like these that we can explore different cultures' perspectives on entertainment throughout history – even if they may be controversial or difficult to reconcile with modern sensibilities.
