EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cock-Fighting at Port Louis, Mauritius" takes us back to a time when this controversial sport was still prevalent. Created by John Charles Dollman in 1880, the print showcases a street scene in Port Louis where two roosters engage in a fierce battle. The image captures the intensity of the conflict as these majestic creatures confront each other with feathers ruffled and beaks ready for combat. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of their aggression and determination. However, beyond the spectacle lies an underlying theme of animal cruelty. Cock-fighting has long been criticized for its brutal nature and disregard for animal welfare. This engraving serves as a reminder of our evolving attitudes towards such practices. Set against the backdrop of Mauritius' vibrant streets, this artwork offers a glimpse into a cultural tradition that once thrived but is now widely condemned. It sparks contemplation about how societies have shifted their values over time and highlights our ongoing efforts to protect animals from harm. As we gaze upon this historical piece, let us reflect on the clash between tradition and progress, recognizing that it is through understanding our past that we can shape a more compassionate future for all living beings.
