EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 567), we are transported back to the year 1887, a time when Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking work in capturing motion through photography was revolutionizing our understanding of the natural world. This particular sequence focuses on the graceful movement of a horse walking, showcasing its majestic presence and highlighting its significance as one of Earth's most remarkable terrestrial mammals. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every frame, allowing us to witness the intricate mechanics behind each step taken by this magnificent creature. As we delve into this visual journey, we become immersed in the realm of zoology and zootechnics, exploring how animals move and interact with their environment. The sheer power emanating from this equine subject reminds us of the immense strength possessed by these vertebrates. Beyond being an awe-inspiring piece of artistry, Muybridge's work holds immense scientific value. His studies paved the way for advancements not only in photography but also in fields such as biomechanics and animation. By freezing moments that occur within fractions of seconds, he provided invaluable insights into animal locomotion that had previously eluded human comprehension. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Alinari, it is important to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its contribution to our collective knowledge base. Let us marvel at Muybridge's ability to capture fleeting moments that would have otherwise gone unnoticed by our naked eyes. Through his lens, he immortalized nature's wonders while simultaneously propelling humanity forward on a path towards greater understanding.
