EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 639. Jumping a Hurdle; Saddle; Bay Horse Daisy, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular frame, we witness the graceful movement of a bay horse named Daisy as it leaps over a hurdle with remarkable agility. The horse's powerful muscles are beautifully highlighted against the stark background, emphasizing its strength and elegance. The rider, an unidentified man dressed in traditional jockey attire complete with hat, showcases incredible skill and control as he guides Daisy through the jump. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the excitement and precision required in showjumping as both horse and rider work together seamlessly to conquer obstacles. Muybridge's pioneering stop-motion photography technique revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion pictures. His scientific approach to capturing movement allowed for detailed study and analysis that was previously unattainable. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's contribution to both art and science. It immortalizes not only an exquisite moment but also highlights the beauty of horses' athleticism while showcasing their harmonious partnership with humans during equestrian sports like showjumping.
