EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a runner equipped with an innovative apparatus designed to measure his various paces. The image is derived from "Animal Mechanism: A Treatise on Terrestrial and Aerial Locomotion" by Etienne-Jules Marey, a renowned French scientist and photographer of the 19th century. The engraving, created in 1874, features intricate details that highlight the precision of this scientific instrument. With one hundred and seventeen illustrations meticulously drawn and engraved under Marey's guidance, this piece captures the essence of his groundbreaking work. Although the identity of the illustrator remains unknown, their skillful execution brings life to this historical artifact. The runner's determined expression reflects his commitment to advancing our understanding of locomotion through careful observation and measurement. Marey's treatise explores both terrestrial and aerial locomotion, offering valuable insights into how animals move in different environments. This particular illustration focuses on human movement as it relates to running speed. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Marey's significant contributions to science and photography. His pioneering spirit continues to inspire researchers today as they strive for new discoveries in biomechanics and beyond.
