The Matador Manual





Tauromaquia o arte de torear á caballo y á pie by José Delgado y Gálvez is online at the University of Mannheim Mateo website. (something like: 'Bullfighting using a horse and one's feet')

It was originally published at the end of the 18th century and after Professor Gálvez's death a new edition was released in 1804 which included 30 lithographic plates that were made by a fan of bullfighting. I've selected some of the less gory examples.
