EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1937 transports us to the vibrant world of Puerto Rico's cockfighting culture. In this image, we see a skilled trainer meticulously trimming the feathers of a gamecock in preparation for an intense battle. The trainer's focused expression and delicate touch reveal his deep connection with these majestic birds. Cockfighting, deeply rooted in Puerto Rican tradition, was not only a popular sport but also a symbol of pride and honor. This snapshot captures the early days of this controversial practice when it was still widely accepted as part of the island's cultural fabric. Photographed by Edwin Rosskam, known for his powerful documentary work during the Great Depression era, this image showcases his ability to capture raw emotion and human connection within everyday scenes. Through his lens, we witness both the dedication of the trainer towards his feathered companion and their shared anticipation for what lies ahead. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us reflect on how our understanding and appreciation for different cultures have evolved over time. While cockfighting may no longer be widely practiced or condoned today due to ethical concerns surrounding animal welfare, it is crucial to acknowledge its significance as an integral part of Puerto Rico's past.
