EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 715), we are transported back to the year 1887, courtesy of Eadweard Muybridge's artistic genius. The image captures a delightful sequence featuring two dogs engrossed in playful interaction with a piece of material. As we observe this timeless scene frozen in time, it becomes evident that Muybridge had an unparalleled ability to capture the essence of animal behavior. These terrestrial mammals, undoubtedly vertebrates, showcase their innate agility and exuberance through their animated playfulness. The composition is masterfully framed, allowing us to witness every nuanced movement as these canines engage with the mysterious object before them. Their bodies seem to flow effortlessly across the frame; their muscles taut yet graceful as they leap and bound with unrestrained joy. Muybridge's attention to detail is remarkable - each strand of fur seems meticulously captured, revealing the texture and individuality of these magnificent creatures. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and dimensionality to the image, enhancing our connection with these lively beings. This photograph from Alinari serves as a testament not only to Muybridge's technical prowess but also his profound understanding of animals' locomotion. It transports us back over a century ago when capturing such fleeting moments required immense skill and patience. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print today, let us appreciate how art has preserved this enchanting moment for generations to come – reminding us that even amidst our ever-changing world, some things remain constant: like the sheer delight found in two dogs at play.
