EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw energy and passion of a traditional bullfight in the Bullring of San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico, during the 1930s. The image focuses on Arcadio Reyes, a skilled picador, also known as "El Zarco," as he delivers a powerful jab to the charging bull. The bullring, a popular tourist destination and cultural landmark in the city, is filled with an eager and animated crowd, all eagerly anticipating the next move. The picador, mounted on horseback, is a crucial figure in the bullfighting spectacle. His role is to weaken the bull before the matador enters the ring. Armed with a long spear, El Zarco expertly maneuvers his horse, using precise jabs to target the bull's neck muscles. The bull, enraged and determined, charges at the picador, its powerful hooves thundering against the dirt of the ring. The atmosphere in the bullring is electric, with the crowd cheering and clapping in support of the picador and the bull. The air is thick with excitement, as the anticipation builds for the next phase of the bullfight. The Bullring of San Pedro Tlaquepaque, also known as Tlaquepaque or simply San Pedro, has been a significant part of Mexican culture for generations. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of bullfighting in Mexico and the skill and bravery of the men who continue to participate in this ancient and passionate spectacle.
