EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cock-Fighting" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when this controversial sport was still prevalent. The image showcases two fierce roosters locked in an intense battle within a cock pit, surrounded by spectators eagerly watching the clash unfold. The artist skillfully captures the raw energy and aggression of these fighting birds as they confront each other with feathers ruffled and beaks wide open. The tension is palpable, reflecting the high stakes involved in this brutal form of entertainment. Although cockfighting has long been condemned for its cruelty towards animals, this print offers a glimpse into a historical pastime that once captivated audiences. It serves as a reminder of how our perspectives on sports and entertainment have evolved over time. Interestingly, this engraving was originally created as an illustration for "The Boys Modern Playmate" published by Frederick Warne around 1890. It highlights how even children were exposed to such violent spectacles during that era. As we reflect upon this artwork today, it prompts us to consider our own values regarding animal welfare and ethical treatment. While appreciating the artistry behind this piece, we are reminded of the progress made in society's understanding of compassion towards all living beings.
