EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 697. Antelope; Trotting, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print showcases the incredible motion and grace of an antelope as it trots through its natural habitat. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this image is one frame from a larger sequence that aimed to study and document the movement of animals. With meticulous precision, Muybridge captured each stage of the antelope's trotting gait, providing valuable insights into animal locomotion for scientific research. The monochromatic tones add depth and intensity to the composition, emphasizing both the power and elegance of this wild creature. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to a time when photography was still in its infancy but already pushing boundaries. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype on paper print measures 21.9x34.8 cm. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences and his contribution to scientific photography. As we admire this photograph today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as a milestone in capturing movement through sequential frames - an achievement that paved the way for modern cinematography techniques.
