The engraving captures the intense atmosphere of the Royal Cockpit, a venue located in Westminster, London, which was a prominent site for such events.

Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned English artist and caricaturist, was known for his keen eye for social satire and his ability to capture the vibrancy of everyday life. Augustus Charles Pugin, an accomplished architectural draughtsman, contributed his precise and detailed style to the collaboration. John Bluck, the engraver, translated their combined artistic vision into a print that has endured as a significant historical document.

The detailed rendering of the architecture and the crowd provides a glimpse into the setting and the cultural context of the period. The engraving not only illustrates the event but also serves as a commentary on the societal norms and recreational activities of the era.

Cockfighting, though now illegal and considered inhumane, was a widely accepted form of entertainment during the time this engraving was created. The artwork thus holds a mirror to the past, offering insights into the historical practices and the public's engagement with such spectacles. "Royal Cock Pit, 1808" remains an important piece for understanding the social history of early 19th century England and the artistic collaboration between Rowlandson, Pugin, and Bluck.
