EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1937, we are transported to the vibrant world of cockfighting in Puerto Rico. The image showcases an unidentified trainer gently cradling a magnificent prize gamecock before preparing him for battle. With a focused gaze, the trainer delicately trims the bird's feathers, ensuring that it is in peak condition for the upcoming fight. The scene exudes a sense of anticipation and reverence for these majestic creatures. The intricate patterns on the gamecock's feathers stand out against its dark plumage, highlighting its natural beauty and strength. The photographer, Edwin Rosskam, skillfully captures not only the physicality of the moment but also hints at the deep cultural significance attached to cockfighting in Puerto Rican society. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an early era when cockfighting was widely practiced as both entertainment and sport. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined humans have been with animals throughout history – their companionship, their use in various activities like sports or farming, and even their symbolic representation within different cultures. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry by Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate both its aesthetic value and its ability to transport us back in time to witness moments that shaped our collective pasts.
