EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 735. Elephants; Two, Walking, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper format, this print measures 16.5x46.5 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 two majestic elephants gracefully moving forward with their characteristic gait. The still frames within this early motion picture sequence offer a scientific study of movement and capture the essence of these wild animals' sequential steps. The composition focuses on the rear view of the elephants as they walk side by side, emphasizing their powerful presence and elegant stride. The details are strikingly clear - from their swaying tails to each footfall hitting the ground. Muybridge's pioneering work revolutionized photography and laid the foundation for modern motion pictures. His meticulous documentation allowed scientists to understand animal locomotion like never before. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we can't help but be transported back to that moment in history when Muybridge immortalized these magnificent creatures through his lens. It serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific exploration while reminding us of our deep connection with nature's wonders.
