EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich cultural history of Guadalupe, Mexico, circa 1910s. In the foreground, a man dressed in traditional Mexican attire carries a pair of game cocks in woven baskets, their spurs jingling softly against the sides. The cocks, with their vibrant plumage and alert, focused expressions, are ready for the cockfight that lies ahead. In the background, the iconic Stone Sails Monument looms large. This unique architectural wonder, located in the grounds of the Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, is a testament to the region's deep-rooted history and traditions. The monument, which resembles a series of stone masts with sails made from volcanic rock, is a popular tourist attraction and a source of local pride. Cockfighting, an ancient practice that dates back to the Aztecs, has long been a part of the cultural fabric of Nuevo Leon, the Mexican state where Guadalupe is located. The tradition, which involves two roosters fighting each other in a controlled environment, is a spectacle that draws crowds from far and wide. Despite controversy and criticism from animal rights activists, cockfighting remains a cherished pastime for many Mexicans, who view it as a symbol of their heritage and a way to connect with their ancestors. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where tradition and history intertwine, and where the passion for the sport remains as strong as ever.
