EDITORS COMMENTS
FRANCE: BULLFIGHT, 1856. Step into the heart of a thrilling spectacle as this wood engraving takes you back to a bullfight in Bayonne, France, near the Spanish border. The image captures the intensity and drama of the arena, where equestrian riders showcase their skill and bravery in facing off against powerful bulls. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as spectators eagerly watch every move from their vantage points. Men and women alike are drawn to witness this age-old tradition that combines athleticism, artistry, and danger. In this particular moment frozen in time, a picador on horseback wields his lance with precision while confronting a charging bull. The clash between man and beast is both awe-inspiring and unsettling—a testament to human courage but also raising questions about animal cruelty. The intricate details of the engraving bring each element to life—the muscular form of the bull, the determination etched on the faces of both rider and spectator. It serves as a reminder that history can be complex—showcasing cultural traditions while also challenging our modern sensibilities. This print from The Granger Collection offers us an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with animals throughout time—a visual portal into an era when such spectacles held great significance for French society.
