"Bull Fight," from the "Games and Sports" series, is a chromolithograph by Goodwin & Company, printed in 1889. This collectible card features a vibrant depiction of a bullfight scene, with a bull charging a matador on horseback. The card also showcases a portrait of a woman wearing a traditional Spanish dress, adding a unique touch to the composition. The artwork, part of a larger series of cigarette cards, reflects a fascination with popular sports and entertainment at the end of the 19th century, and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
