The title of this work is H Beard Print Collection, created by John Kay in 1785. This print is interesting because it shows a specific event, a cock fight, which was a common activity at the time. The fight is set in a particular location, the unfinished kitchen of the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms, which adds a unique context to the scene. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement of Romanticism.
