Corrals behind the bullring were where animals waited before a fight, and this color lithograph shows that tense pause in Madrid's plaza. The print is signed on the stone and numbered "No. 2," which suggests it belonged to a small series. Madrid's bullfights drew large crowds in the 1860s, and colored prints of Spanish street and arena life were popular with travelers and collectors who wanted a lively record of local customs.
