EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lantern slide presents an iconic image of Spain's traditional and controversial practice of bullfighting. The photograph, titled "Spain - Bull Fighting - Frascuelo - Famous Bull Fighter," depicts a matador, or bullfighter, dressed in the traditional costume of the profession. The image is believed to be of the famous bullfighter Frascuelo, whose real name was Salvador Sanchez Povedano (1842-1898). The slide is part of a larger collection, Box 148 entitled "Spain Bull Fighting & Spanish Life," and is estimated to date back to the 1890s. Frascuelo was a renowned figure in the bullfighting world, known for his daring and skillful performances. In this image, he is seen standing confidently in the arena, dressed in the traditional suit of lights, or traje de luces, which is designed to distract the bull and protect the matador from its charges. The bull's eyes are fixed on the matador, ready for the next move. Bullfighting is a deeply rooted cultural tradition in Spain, with a rich history dating back over 2,000 years. The practice has been the subject of much controversy and debate, with some viewing it as a cruel and unnecessary form of animal abuse, while others see it as a symbol of Spanish heritage and national pride. Regardless of personal opinion, there is no denying the significance of bullfighting in Spanish history and culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the raw energy and intensity of a bullfight in the late 1800s. It serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of Spanish culture and history, and the enduring power of tradition.
