EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "Animal Locomotion, Plate 62," is a masterpiece created by the pioneering photographer Eadweard J Muybridge in 1887. A seminal figure in the history of photography, Muybridge is renowned for his groundbreaking work on animal and human motion, which challenged long-held assumptions about how animals and people moved. In this image, we see a man on horseback in various stages of galloping, captured through Muybridge's innovative use of a series of cameras set up in a sequence. The resulting contact sheet, or "zoopraxiscope," allowed Muybridge to study and analyze the intricacies of motion in a way never before possible. The print showcases the remarkable detail and clarity of Muybridge's callotype process, which produced high-quality, tonally rich images. The stark contrast between the white horse and the dark background accentuates the dynamic interplay of muscle and bone as the rider and his mount move in perfect harmony. This photograph is a testament to Muybridge's unwavering commitment to scientific inquiry and his innovative approach to visual storytelling. It remains an enduring symbol of the 19th century's fascination with the natural world and the human desire to understand the complexities of the physical world around us. This particular print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
