About this work

This engraving shows a crowded circular cockpit with spectators packed around a central arena where two roosters fight. Men in tricorn hats gesture, shout, and hold money, while figures in the galleries and below watch closely. The print is inscribed with the artist's name and a publication notice dated November 1759, and it bears the oval Royal Sport emblem with a rooster at the bottom.
