EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 753. Kangaroo; Jumping, 1885" captures the essence of motion and action in a single frame. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 24x31.6 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 his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Each frame freezes a moment within the kangaroo's jump, allowing for detailed study and analysis of its movement. The kangaroo itself appears suspended mid-air with its powerful hind legs fully extended. This marsupial's graceful hop is frozen in time, revealing both strength and agility. The sequential nature of the frames emphasizes the fluidity of its motion as it propels forward. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of animal locomotion and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. His meticulous study captured not only artistic beauty but also contributed to scientific knowledge. This particular print is a testament to Muybridge's talent as well as an invaluable resource for those interested in studying animal behavior or early photographic techniques. It serves as a reminder that even through still images, we can capture dynamic moments that reveal hidden wonders within our natural world
