EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 739. Bactrian Camel; Galloping, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image depicts a majestic Bactrian camel in full gallop, its powerful legs suspended mid-air as it propels forward with grace and strength. The intricate details of every muscle and sinew are beautifully captured, showcasing the sheer beauty of this magnificent creature's movement. Muybridge's pioneering stop-motion photography technique revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This particular image is part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when scientific study intersected with artistic expression. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication to capturing movement through sequential frames, providing invaluable insights into the mechanics of wild animals like the double-humped Bactrian camel. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print is not only an exquisite piece of scientific documentation but also a stunning work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration over a century later.
