EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 765. Vulture; Flying, 1885" showcases the incredible motion of a vulture in flight. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" in 1887, this collotype print on paper captures the essence of early motion picture sequences. The image measures 27.5x27.6 cm and is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and sequential action. This particular photograph beautifully illustrates the bird's wingspan as it flaps its wings mid-flight. The vulture appears suspended in time within a sequence of frames that showcase its graceful yet powerful movements. The intensity captured here allows us to study every detail meticulously - from each feather ruffling against the wind to the precise positioning of its wings during flight. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's pioneering work but also how art can merge with science to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed or misunderstood. Through this photograph, we gain insight into both avian locomotion and Muybridge's artistic genius – an enduring testament to his significant contributions to photography and our understanding of animal behavior.
