EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "A Filipino Cock-Fight" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Filipino culture and sports. The artwork, created by an anonymous American School artist, showcases a thrilling cockfighting match in all its intensity. As we delve into this scene, we witness two majestic roosters engaged in a fierce battle of strength and agility. The detailed illustration captures every nuance of their movements as they clash with determination and pride. Surrounding them are enthusiastic spectators eagerly placing bets on their favored contender. The lithograph is part of Charles F Horne's comprehensive book "The World and its People" which aimed to provide readers with an immersive tour of different lands. In this particular chapter dedicated to the Philippines, Horne sheds light on the significance of cockfighting within Filipino society – not only as a popular sport but also as a cultural tradition deeply rooted in history. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the rich tapestry that makes up Philippine heritage: from the bustling moneychangers exchanging currency to the diverse crowd representing various ethnicities found across Asia. It serves as a reminder that sports have always played an integral role in connecting people from different backgrounds and fostering camaraderie among communities. With its intricate details rendered through lithography techniques, this print transports us back to an era where cockfights were not merely games but rather reflections of identity, passion, and unity among Filipinos.
