Photograph of a drawing depicting a Mexican man playing "Carera del Gallo", a game where one grabs a rooster while on horseback, ca.1800. The outstretched profile of the man's horse at full stride fills much of the image, as the man leans down over his horse to grab a rooster from below. The rooster itself appears to be nestled in a hole, and only its head shows.
