EDITORS COMMENTS
PUERTO RICO: COCKFIGHT, 1937. Capturing the intensity and raw emotion at the end of a cockfight in Puerto Rico, this powerful photograph by Edwin Rosskam transports us back to an era when this controversial sport held great significance on the island. Taken in 1937, Rosskam's lens focuses on the aftermath of a brutal battle between two roosters, highlighting the somber reality that often followed these intense matches. In this image, we witness men gathered around the arena, their faces etched with a mix of exhaustion and anticipation as they reflect upon what has just transpired. The lifeless body of one defeated rooster lies motionless on the ground, serving as a poignant reminder of both victory and loss within this bloodsport. Rosskam's composition skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional investment present in cockfighting culture during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into Puerto Rican society where cockfights were deeply ingrained in tradition and served as social gatherings for spectators. This historic photograph from Granger Art on Demand serves as a testament to Rosskam's ability to document significant moments in history through his lens. It invites viewers to contemplate not only the ethical implications surrounding cockfighting but also its cultural significance within Puerto Rico.
