Description

Color: Black; White A black and white photograph of a dead bull being removed from a bullfight in an arena in Spain, 1930. Five men are at the left center leading the two horses which pull the dead animal. Three more men, who are raking the sand in the arena, are scattered throughout. The back of a bullfighter is at the left of the foreground, and at the center is the head of a man wearing a cap. Along the top of the stadium in the background is a sign that reads, "CAMIONES / ROCHET - SCHNEIDER." Stamped on the back is, "VELOX" and, "AR374." The photograph was taken during Agnes Temple's honeymoon and was housed in her album, which is item 96.7.94.1, along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1.
