EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 737. Bactrian Camel; Walking, 1885" captures the essence of early motion picture sequences. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 23.7x31.1 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking project "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases a wild Bactrian camel in mid-stride. The sequential frames frozen in time through stop-motion photography offer a scientific study into the movement and locomotion of animals. The majestic creature can be seen strolling gracefully with its double humped silhouette dominating the frame. Its powerful legs are captured mid-step as it confidently walks to an unknown destination. The photograph highlights every detail - from the texture of its fur to the curve of its elegant neck. Muybridge's work revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography and animation techniques. This particular image serves as a testament to his dedication to capturing nature's beauty through scientific observation. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing print, allow yourself to be transported back to a time when photography was still evolving but already capable of capturing fleeting moments like never before. Let it remind you that even simple acts like walking can hold profound beauty if we take the time to truly see them.
