EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 660. Mule; Miscellaneous Performances Denver, 1885" captures a moment of early motion picture sequence by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a mule engaged in various mesmerizing performances that highlight its remarkable agility and balance. In this intriguing snapshot from Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" we witness the mule executing an array of tricks with astonishing precision. From swinging on a contraption to rolling and sitting on a rocker, this intelligent creature effortlessly demonstrates its versatility and adaptability. The carefully captured frames within this collotype print provide us with valuable scientific insight into animal movement during the late 19th century.
