EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, estimated to date back to 1881, presents a hauntingly beautiful image of a galloping horse skeleton making contact with the ground. The intricately detailed skeletal structure of the horse, with each bone clearly visible, conveys a sense of raw power and grace as it appears mid-stride. The ground beneath the horse's hooves is disturbed, suggesting the force of its motion. The contrast between the delicate, transparent bones and the rich, earthy tones of the ground creates a striking visual effect. The image invites viewers to ponder the intricacies of equine anatomy and the natural cycle of life and death. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the connection between the living and the deceased, as well as the enduring beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken around the late 19th century, is a testament to the skill and artistry of early photographers who were able to capture such intricate and evocative images using the technology available at the time. The image's timeless quality and ability to evoke emotions and thoughts continues to captivate viewers to this day.
