EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 746. Capybara; Walking, 1885" captures the essence of motion in a mesmerizing way. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing sequential movement. The image depicts a capybara, a large rodent native to South America, gracefully strolling forward with each step meticulously documented. This early motion picture sequence serves as an important scientific study on animal locomotion and highlights Muybridge's pioneering contribution to photography. With its stark contrast and precise framing, the photograph evokes a sense of curiosity about the capybara's movement patterns. Each frame frozen in time allows us to observe the subtle shifts in posture and weight distribution that occur during walking. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". The gift from the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust ensures that this remarkable piece remains accessible for all to appreciate. Through Muybridge's lens, we are transported back to 1885 when science met artistry through photography. This timeless image continues to captivate viewers today as it offers a glimpse into both nature's wonders and mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding movement.
