Auktionsverket Engelholm transports us to 19th-century England, revisiting a phenomenon that once enjoyed great popularity. Delving even further back, history tells of Henry VIII commissioning a cockfighting arena in Whitehall, London, during the first half of the 16th century. At Auktionsverket Engelholm, we encounter around forty hand-colored scenes where roosters naturally take center stage, occasionally accompanied by distinguished gentlemen sporting top hats.
You are warmly invited to explore this captivating motif world, a longstanding collecting field in its own right.
