EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 680. Orex; Galloping, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print showcases an incredible sequence of motion as an oryx gracefully gallops across the frame. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image is a testament to his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Each frame meticulously captures the movement of wild animals and birds, providing valuable scientific insight into their locomotion. In this particular plate, we witness the majestic oryx mid-gallop with its magnificent horns on full display. The composition beautifully portrays the animal's strength and elegance as it effortlessly traverses its surroundings. The collotype printing technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing our visual experience. Measuring at 15.9x39.9 cm, this print is a remarkable example of Muybridge's mastery in capturing sequential movement through photography. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this piece was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection further solidifies its significance as both a work of art and a scientific study. This extraordinary photograph serves as a timeless reminder of Muybridge's contributions to photography and science alike while showcasing nature's beauty through one captivating moment captured forever on paper.
