EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of cockfighting in fin-de-siècle Paris. In 1899, cock fighting was not only a popular sport but also a fashionable amusement enjoyed by top-hatted gentlemen and their lady friends. The image captures the excitement and intensity of the fight, as two roosters face off in a battle for dominance. The historical significance of this photograph is evident in the attire of the spectators, who are dressed to impress in their finest clothing. The scene provides a glimpse into the social customs and pastimes of the era, showcasing how even something as brutal as cockfighting could be considered an acceptable form of entertainment among high society. As you study this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, you can almost hear the cheers and jeers of the crowd as they watch with anticipation. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about dates and events, but also about everyday activities that shaped society at large. So take a moment to immerse yourself in this snapshot from the past, where tradition meets modernity and where even something as controversial as cockfighting can be seen through a lens of nostalgia and curiosity.
