The title names a specific pass, *la suerte de la capa*, the cape pass, in which the bullfighter uses a large cape to draw the bull's charge and turn it past his body. The print is a color lithograph, signed on the stone and numbered 14, which suggests it was one plate in a series of bullfighting scenes. Such images were popular in the 1860s, when the corrida was becoming a national spectacle in Spain and prints like this helped audiences abroad picture its ritual and drama.
