EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 769. American Eagle; Flying, 1885" showcases the remarkable talent of Eadweard Muybridge in capturing motion through his collotype print on paper. The image measures 16.7x45.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate features a stunning close-up of an American eagle mid-flight. With its wings spread wide and feathers glistening against the backdrop, the majestic bird appears frozen in time yet exudes an undeniable sense of power and grace. Muybridge's groundbreaking work revolutionized scientific photography by using sequential frames to study movement meticulously. His stop-motion technique allowed for a deeper understanding of animal locomotion, making significant contributions to both art and science. In this mesmerizing snapshot, we witness every detail as the eagle flaps its wings with precision while soaring through the air effortlessly. It serves as a testament to nature's beauty and reminds us of our fascination with these magnificent creatures. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to appreciate Muybridge's pioneering efforts that paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This photograph stands as a timeless reminder of mankind's endless quest to explore and understand our world through artistry and scientific inquiry alike.
