EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 636. Jumping a Hurdle; Saddle; Preparing for the Leap" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, Animal Locomotion. Taken in 1885 using collotype on paper technique, this print measures 24.8x30.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. The image showcases a man on horseback preparing to leap over a hurdle with remarkable grace and precision. The rider exudes confidence as he dons his hat while mounted on his majestic steed. The intensity of the moment is palpable as both man and horse focus their energy towards conquering the obstacle before them. Muybridge's work revolutionized scientific photography by capturing motion through sequential frames, resembling an early motion picture sequence or stop-motion animation. This particular photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication to studying movement and its impact on various subjects. Beyond its scientific significance, this image also highlights the beauty of equestrian sport and the incredible bond between humans and animals. It encapsulates the thrill of showjumping as both rider and horse synchronize their movements flawlessly to overcome challenges together. As we admire this stunning piece captured over a century ago, it reminds us of our enduring fascination with horses - symbols of strength, freedom, and untamed spirit that continue to captivate our hearts today.
