EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 695. Elk, Galloping, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885, this collotype print showcases the raw power and grace of an elk in full gallop. The image is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. This volume specifically focuses on wild animals and birds, offering a scientific study of their movement through sequential frames. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and revolutionized our understanding of animal locomotion. In this particular frame, we witness the majestic elk running with incredible speed across its natural habitat. Its powerful legs are fully extended mid-air as it propels itself forward with elegance and strength. The magnificent antlers atop its head add to its grandeur, showcasing nature's remarkable design. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the intersection between art and science. It exemplifies how photography can be used as a tool for studying movement and capturing fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius and his significant contribution to both photography and scientific exploration.
