EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic American Eagle in flight, near the ground. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this image is from Volume XI dedicated to wild animals and birds. The photograph measures 21.3x34.9 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. The image freezes a fleeting moment of action as the eagle flaps its wings mid-flight. Through Muybridge's pioneering stop-motion technique, we are able to study and appreciate the intricate movement of this magnificent bird with scientific precision. As one frame within a sequence capturing various stages of flight, Plate 771 offers us a glimpse into the dynamic nature of avian motion. The intensity and power emanating from this bird of prey are palpable even through a static medium like photography. This mesmerizing print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable scientific document. It reminds us not only of our fascination with nature but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit to understand it better through visual exploration. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust to preserve its historical significance, Plate 771 continues to inspire awe and admiration for both Muybridge's technical prowess as well as the beauty inherent in every creature that graces our skies.
