EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 766. Vulture; Flying, 1885" captures the essence of motion and action in a single frame. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series on animal locomotion, this collotype print showcases the mesmerizing flight of a vulture. Measuring at 12.5x44.9 cm, this image is an exquisite example of early motion picture sequences captured through stop-motion photography. Each frame meticulously depicts the sequential movement of the bird's wings as it soars through the sky with grace and power. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for future studies in biomechanics. This particular image was featured in his iconic publication "Animal Locomotion" in 1887, Volume XI dedicated to Wild Animals and Birds. The vulture's majestic presence dominates the composition, its wings fully extended mid-flight, showcasing both their impressive span and intricate feather patterns. The intense flapping motion frozen in time evokes a sense of awe and wonder at nature's marvels. Now housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius and scientific contributions that continue to inspire photographers today.
