EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 591), we are transported back to the year 1887, a time when Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through photography was at its peak. The image showcases an enthralling sequence featuring a jockey on horseback, frozen in time yet brimming with energy. The composition is a testament to Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail as he captures the essence of animal locomotion. The horse, a magnificent terrestrial mammal, takes center stage as it gallops gracefully across the frame. Its powerful muscles ripple beneath its sleek coat, conveying both strength and elegance. The jockey perched atop the horse adds another layer of intrigue to the scene. Dressed in traditional racing attire, their focused expression reveals their dedication and skill in guiding these majestic creatures towards victory. It is a snapshot that encapsulates not only the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals but also highlights the artistry involved in equestrian sports. Muybridge's expertise shines through every element captured within this photograph – from his ability to freeze motion with unparalleled precision to his keen eye for framing compelling compositions. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where science meets art seamlessly. This particular print from Alinari allows us access into history; it transports us back over a century ago when zoology and zootechnics were still burgeoning fields of study. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of photographic mastery by Muybridge, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and appreciate how far our understanding of animal locomotion has come since then.
