EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 659. Mule; A, B, Bucking and Kicking; Ruth, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print measures 25.4x32.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Through stop-motion photography, he meticulously captured the sequential movement of animals to study their locomotion scientifically. In this particular frame, we witness a mule named Ruth engaging in an intense display of energy and power. With its hind legs kicking up high into the air while bucking vigorously, it epitomizes the raw spirit of these magnificent creatures. Muybridge's precise framing allows us to appreciate every detail: the taut muscles on Ruth's body as it defies gravity with each kick and buck; its wild eyes reflecting both determination and untamed nature. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Muybridge's technical mastery but also offers valuable insights into animal behavior and movement for scientific study. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary moments can hold extraordinary beauty when viewed through the lens of artistry and curiosity. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust to preserve its historical significance, this remarkable image continues to capt
