EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 641. Jumping a Hurdle; Saddle; Knocking Over Hurdle and, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we witness a thrilling equestrian spectacle as a man on horseback fearlessly leaps over a hurdle. The intensity of the action is palpable as both rider and horse are captured mid-air, showcasing their incredible athleticism and grace. However, an unexpected twist unfolds as the horse's powerful hind legs accidentally knock over the hurdle behind them. The Victorian-style attire worn by the rider adds an air of elegance to this dynamic scene while emphasizing the historical context in which it was taken. This photograph not only serves as an early motion picture sequence but also highlights Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing movement in its most natural form. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype print measures 14.1x45.1 cm and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and scientific significance. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in photography and his contribution to our understanding of animal locomotion.
