EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the intensity and drama of a bullfight in New Orleans, as depicted in Davy Crockett's Almanack from 1849. The image showcases a thrilling moment within the arena, where horseback picadors engage with a powerful bull. The composition is filled with action and movement, as the mounted picadors bravely face off against the charging bull. The tension between man and beast is palpable, creating an atmosphere of both danger and excitement. The skillful engraving brings to life every detail - from the muscular bodies of both horse and bull to the determined expressions on the faces of those involved. This print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when bullfighting was considered not only a sport but also an art form. It highlights the bravery and agility required by both horse riders and matadors as they navigate this dangerous spectacle. As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded of Davy Crockett's influence on American culture during his time. His almanac served not only as a source of practical information but also as entertainment for readers across Boston. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this piece today while acknowledging its significance in capturing an important aspect of sporting history.
