EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneering photographer and investigator of animal locomotion, between approximately 1890 and 1904. Seated and facing left, Muybridge, also known as Edward James Muggeridge, is depicted with a thick beard and a serious expression. Born in England in 1830, Muybridge moved to the United States in the late 1850s and gained fame for his groundbreaking studies on the motion of animals, using a series of cameras to capture sequential images. His work paved the way for cinematography and the development of motion pictures. This portrait was captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, an American photographer and architectural recordist, who was known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings. Johnston's portrait of Muybridge adds to the rich heritage of American photography and provides a glimpse into the life of this innovative and influential figure. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Muybridge's contributions to the field of photography and our understanding of motion. The portrait is a half-length image, taken in the late 19th century, and is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs and is a reminder of the important role that photography played in documenting the world around us and advancing scientific knowledge.
