This print shows a cock fight at a once-famous spot called the Royal Cockpit. It was published in 1808 and made by Pugin, a French-born British artist. Cock fighting was a popular (but now banned) public sport back then. The image captures the moment right before the birds start to fight. If you like this kind of print, check out more Romanticism.
