THE " GALUMBO, " A POPULAR SPORT IN SPAIN; And the sport is started in the principal square, a long rope attached to the Bulls horns, to which men tail on, keeps him (in a degree) under control; A young Bull, escorted by a couple of trained " Cabestros" or bullocks, is brought into the town from the country; And the Amateur Bullfighter is in his glory; Sometimes the rope breaks and a general stampede takes place; To the agile this does not matter much; But to those no longer so it is far from amusing; Nor is he a welcome addition to a party sitting outside a cafe; So most people are glad when he finds his way back into the country

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1891 engraving from the Liszt Collection captures the essence of a popular sport in Spain known as "Galumbo". The image showcases the vibrant energy and excitement that surrounds this thrilling activity. In the principal square, a long rope is attached to the horns of a powerful bull, providing some degree of control for the men who tail on to it. This unique method keeps both man and beast engaged in an exhilarating competition. As depicted in this print, a young bull is escorted into town by trained "Cabestros" or bullocks, setting the stage for an amateur bullfighter to showcase his skills. However, sometimes unexpected events occur; when the rope breaks, chaos ensues with a general stampede taking place. While agile participants are unfazed by these incidents, those less nimble find themselves far from amused. Even outdoor cafe-goers may not welcome their presence. Despite occasional mishaps, Galumbo remains a beloved pastime for many Spaniards. It serves as both exercise and entertainment while fostering physical fitness among its athletes. This vintage engraving offers us a glimpse into history and illustrative techniques prevalent during Victorian times. With its retro-styled charm and cultural significance, this print transports us back to an era where Galumbo was at its peak popularity in Spain's public spaces. Whether you appreciate sports or enjoy exploring historical arts and culture, this engraving provides an intriguing window into one of Spain's most cherished traditions.
