EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 655. Walking; Saddle; Spavin, Right Hind Leg; Horse, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a man mounted on a horse in mid-stride. The rider exudes confidence as he guides his steed with skillful reins held firmly in hand. Both man and horse are captured in perfect harmony, showcasing the grace and power of their partnership. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident here as he highlights not only the beauty but also the scientific aspects of equine locomotion. The presence of spavin—a condition affecting the right hind leg—adds an intriguing layer to this composition, emphasizing Muybridge's dedication to capturing every nuance and aspect of animal movement. As we gaze upon this remarkable collotype print on paper, we are transported back to a time when motion pictures were still in their infancy. This early precursor to film offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously celebrating both artistry and scientific inquiry. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work that continues to inspire photographers and scientists alike today.
