The indentification os this print is not certain. Given the white background, it could have been shot in the summer of 1896. However, knowledge gained from making The Cock Fight (film nº 27) and other films of animal fighting might well have encouraged the Edison crew to move the camera closer and lighten the background even at this early date. |
