EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - a man and his horse fearlessly leaping over a fence. Taken in 1887 by the pioneering artist Eadweard J Muybridge, this image is not just an ordinary photograph but rather an important milestone in the development of cinematography. Muybridge was a visionary photographer who revolutionized the understanding of movement through sequence photography. His groundbreaking work paved the way for the invention of cinema as we know it today. Plate 640 from his renowned collection Animal Locomotion showcases his meticulous analysis of motion, particularly evident in this breathtaking shot. The image transports us back to 19th century America, where horsemanship was both a sport and an essential part of daily life. The rider's skillful control over his galloping steed is awe-inspiring, demonstrating the harmony between man and animal. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of Muybridge's innovation and dedication to capturing moments that were previously unseen by human eyes. This print serves as a testament to his artistic vision and technical prowess. Whether you appreciate equestrianism or simply admire historical photographs, this striking image offers a glimpse into the past while also celebrating Muybridge's significant contribution to visual storytelling.
