EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs, captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1904 and 1938, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex tapestry of European travel views during the 20th century. The images, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, transport us back in time to an era of grandeur and intrigue, as we bear witness to the diverse landscapes, architectural wonders, and vibrant cultures that defined Europe during this period. Among the collection, a particularly controversial series of photographs document the controversial practice of bullfighting. These images, taken in various locations across Europe, capture the raw energy and drama of the arena, as matadors and picadors engage in the ancient blood sport, clad in their distinctive capes and cloaks. The audience, a sea of men in formal attire and women in elegant dresses, watch on with bated breath, their faces a mix of excitement, anticipation, and fear. Despite the beauty and allure of these images, they also serve as a stark reminder of the cruelty and danger inherent in bullfighting, a practice that continues to be a subject of controversy and debate to this day. As we view these photographs, we are reminded of the complexities and contradictions that define human history, and the ongoing struggle to balance our desire for entertainment and heritage with our growing awareness of animal welfare and the perils of tradition.
