EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 591. Rocking (Pacing): Saddle; Brown Horse Pronto, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases the early motion picture sequence technique that Muybridge pioneered, providing a scientific study of animal locomotion. In this particular frame from his iconic series "Animal Locomotion" we witness the graceful movement of a brown horse named Pronto as it rocks back and forth in a pacing gait. The rider atop the saddle is captured mid-stride, showcasing their equestrian skills while donning a traditional hat. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion photography allows us to appreciate every detail of this powerful scene. The collotype print on paper emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the sense of motion and adding depth to the composition. The photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insight into equine anatomy and movement for scientific purposes. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of horseback riding – capturing both its elegance as a sport and its historical significance as an essential mode of transportation. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this remarkable piece is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. Its presence reminds us how art can bridge gaps between disciplines like photography, science, and sportsmanship while immortalizing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
