Animal Locomotion - Capturing the Elegance of Equine Movement in 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 606), we are transported back to the year 1887, where pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge masterfully freezes a moment in time. The image showcases a thrilling sequence featuring a jockey on a gig being pulled by a magnificent trotting horse. Muybridge's groundbreaking work focused on capturing motion through sequential photography, forever changing our understanding of movement. This particular plate highlights the grace and power of horses as they gallop across land, their hooves barely touching the ground. It is an awe-inspiring testament to their agility and strength. The presence of the jockey adds an element of human connection to this dynamic scene. Dressed in traditional racing attire, he exudes determination and skill as he guides his steed towards victory. The portrait-like quality of this composition allows us to appreciate not only the athleticism of these animals but also the symbiotic relationship between humans and horses. The gig itself serves as both a mode of transportation and an emblematic symbol from that era - representing progress, adventure, and exploration along roads less traveled. It reminds us that even during times when technology was rapidly advancing, there was still beauty found in simpler forms of travel. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Muybridge over a century ago, we are reminded that art has no expiration date. Its ability to transport us through time remains unparalleled; it allows us to witness moments frozen forever while igniting our imagination about what life was like during those distant days.
