1807 Fight Handbill New York Rooster Sport
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
