EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 699. Buffalo; Walking, 1885" captures the essence of early motion picture sequences. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 19.1x40 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 particular plate showcases a wild buffalo in mid-stride. The image freezes a moment in time, revealing the intricate movements and gracefulness of these majestic creatures. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography allowed him to study movement like never before. By capturing sequential frames through stop motion techniques, he provided invaluable insights into animal locomotion that had previously eluded scientists. In this photograph, we witness the buffalo strolling confidently with its powerful legs propelling it forward. The side view allows us to appreciate its massive size and muscular build as it navigates its surroundings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from over a century ago, we are reminded of Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. His work not only revolutionized photography but also deepened our understanding of the natural world around us. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust to the Addison Gallery of American Art, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe and admiration for Muybridge's genius as well as for these magnificent animals that roam our earth
