Description

RARE The engraving/etching shows a Cock-fighting match between Lanark and Haddington in Scotland by John Kay of Edinburgh . It is entitled "'Thus we poor Cocks, exert our Skill & Brav'ry For idle Gulls, and Kites, that trade in Knav'ry' " and dated 1785
These in Georgian times were cherished but the 'sport' no longer exists in the UK and is a historic item reflecting the attitude of the day such as children shoved up chimneys to clean them. They are part of a collection I will be listing
Two cocks fight in a cock-pit, a man standing over each cock; the spectators are in a circle several rows deep. The wall of the room is of stone, with three boarded-up windows; it is the unfinished kitchen of the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms. The heads are on a small scale and crowded together, but several are portraits, one being Deacon Brodie. Beneath the design is etched the title
Image Height: 150 millimetres Width: 126 millimetres plus mount and frame
