EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 757. Pigeon; Flying, 1885" captures the essence of motion and action in a single frame. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing sequential movement. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this image is from Volume XI dedicated to wild animals and birds. The photograph measures 24.3x31.8 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. In this particular shot, a pigeon takes flight with its wings gracefully flapping against the backdrop of an early motion picture sequence. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography allowed him to study movement in unprecedented detail, making significant contributions to the field. The image not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the beauty and elegance of avian flight. The viewer can almost feel the wind beneath their own wings as they witness this moment frozen in time. With each feather captured sharply against the contrasting background, one cannot help but marvel at both nature's wonders and human ingenuity behind such remarkable photographic technique. This extraordinary print stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering spirit and his lasting impact on scientific photography—a timeless reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to exploring our world through different lenses.
