EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jumbo Jogger" takes us back to the year 1878, where we witness a remarkable sight - Mahomet the elephant at full canter. The image was originally published in volume 11 of "Animal Locomotion" in 1887, showcasing Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering work in chronophotography. In this landscape composition, Muybridge masterfully captures the raw power and grace of this wild animal. The contrast between light and shadow accentuates every muscle as it propels itself forward with astonishing speed. We are left awe-struck by the sheer magnitude of Mahomet's presence on film. The choice to present this photograph in black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to focus solely on the subject matter without any distractions. It emphasizes Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail, highlighting every intricate texture of Mahomet's wrinkled skin against a stark background. As we gaze upon this piece, we cannot help but feel transported back in time, witnessing an extraordinary moment frozen forever through Muybridge's lens. This photograph serves as a testament not only to his technical expertise but also his ability to capture the essence of these majestic creatures. Whether you are an admirer of wildlife photography or simply appreciate fine art that encapsulates both beauty and movement, "Jumbo Jogger" is sure to captivate your imagination and leave you marveling at nature's wonders.
