EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the vibrant atmosphere of early 20th century Havana, Cuba. Titled "Habana. Rina de Gallos. Cock-fight, c. 1900s" it showcases a thrilling cockfight taking place outdoors in the city streets. The image is filled with energy as men and boys gather around to witness this popular leisure activity. In their traditional hats and colorful attire, the spectators are fully engrossed in the intense competition between two roosters, each representing its owner's pride and honor. The sun shines brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on this scene of excitement and anticipation. While cockfighting was once considered a common sport in many countries, today it raises concerns about animal cruelty. This photograph serves as a historical document that sheds light on past cultural practices but also prompts us to reflect on our evolving attitudes towards animals. The print itself exudes an air of nostalgia with its aged appearance and sepia tones, transporting viewers back to a bygone era when such events were part of everyday life in Havana. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Cuban society while reminding us of how far we have come in terms of ethical treatment towards animals. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to spark important conversations about our relationship with nature throughout history.
