EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 760. Cockatoo; Flying, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment of avian grace and power. Taken by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 21.8x32.4 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his revolutionary stop-motion technique that paved the way for early motion picture sequences. Each frame meticulously captures the sequential movement of the cockatoo's wings as it takes flight. The scientific significance of this photograph cannot be understated. It exemplifies Muybridge's dedication to capturing movement with precision and detail, contributing to our understanding of animal locomotion during that era. In this particular shot, we witness the bird mid-flap with its majestic wings fully extended against a stark background. The frozen moment conveys both elegance and strength as the cockatoo defies gravity effortlessly. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's immense talent but also his invaluable contribution to photography and science alike. This photograph stands as a testament to human curiosity and our ceaseless quest for knowledge about the natural world around us.
