EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 751. Kangaroo; Walking on All-Fours; Change to Jumping, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print measures 21.1x34.3 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 the incredible movement and agility of a kangaroo transitioning from walking on all fours to an impressive mid-air jump. Through his meticulous stop-motion technique, Muybridge revolutionized early motion picture sequences and provided valuable scientific insights into animal locomotion. The frames within this sequence beautifully illustrate the sequential nature of movement as the kangaroo propels itself forward with grace and power. Each frame serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication to capturing every intricate detail of motion through photography. This stunning photograph not only highlights the natural beauty of this marsupial but also invites us to marvel at its unique ability to effortlessly leap through space. It serves as both a scientific study and an artistic masterpiece that continues to inspire photographers and scientists alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time, witnessing one fleeting moment captured forever—a testament to human curiosity about our world's diverse creatures and their extraordinary abilities.
