EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Ibague, Colombia in the late 19th century. The image, drawn by Riou and engraved by Edouard Charton, captures a scene filled with energy and animation. In the center of the frame, we witness a thrilling cockfighting match taking place. The intensity is palpable as spectators eagerly watch on, their eyes fixed on the fierce battle between two roosters. This traditional Colombian pastime showcases both the competitive spirit and cultural significance attached to such events. Beyond the spectacle of cockfighting, this snapshot also offers a glimpse into daily life in Ibague during that era. The bustling street scene reveals people going about their daily routines - children playing amidst dilapidated buildings while adults engage in conversation or simply observe from afar. The engraving serves as an illustration for Ed. Andre's travel account titled "Equinoxiale America" which chronicles his journey through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru between 1875-1876 under French government commission. It provides valuable insight into South American civilization at that time. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historical moment frozen in time - a testament to human leisure activities intertwined with native traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, it allows us to reflect on how culture has evolved over time while appreciating its rich heritage that still resonates within modern-day Colombia.
