EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 741. Bactrian Camel; A, Walking; B, Racking" captures the essence of motion and action in a mesmerizing way. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image features a majestic Bactrian camel in two distinct poses. In frame A, we witness the camel gracefully walking with its long legs stretched out and its humps swaying gently. Frame B reveals an intriguing movement called racking, where the camel's rear end is slightly elevated while it moves forward. Muybridge's pioneering stop-motion technique allows us to observe these subtle nuances that often go unnoticed by the naked eye. By capturing multiple frames of motion sequentially, he provides a scientific study of movement that revolutionized photography and laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences. The double-humped beauty showcased here exemplifies wild animals' gracefulness as they navigate their natural habitat. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable scientific tool for studying animal behavior. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today as it transports us back to an era when photography was still unraveling its potential as a medium for scientific exploration.
