EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COCK FIGHTING, 1807" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Published as a broadside in New York during the early 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the world of an intense and controversial sport that once captivated the masses. The scene depicted showcases two majestic roosters engaged in combat, their feathers ruffled and beaks poised for battle. The intensity of the fight is palpable, with every muscle tense and ready for action. This handbill serves as both documentation and testament to the popularity of cockfighting during this era. Beyond its visual appeal, what makes this print truly remarkable is its historical significance. It sheds light on a time when such blood sports were not only accepted but also celebrated forms of entertainment. Cockfighting was deeply ingrained within North American culture at that time, reflecting societal values and attitudes towards competition. Accompanying the vivid imagery are carefully crafted texts that likely provided details about upcoming events or specific matches taking place in New York City. These words offer valuable insights into how cockfighting was organized and promoted during this period. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember it not just as an artistic representation but also as a reminder of our ever-evolving society's changing perspectives on sport and animal welfare throughout history.
