EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 755. Pigeon; Flying, 1885" is a remarkable example of early motion picture sequence captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases the intricate movement of a pigeon in flight, frozen in time through stop-motion photography. Measuring at 18.6x40.3 cm, this collotype print on paper is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It belongs to Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study and document various forms of movement scientifically. The photograph captures the essence of bird flight with incredible precision and detail. Every flap and flutter of the pigeon's wings can be observed as it soars through the air effortlessly. This sequential composition not only serves as an artistic marvel but also contributes to our understanding of avian locomotion. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for modern-day cinematography and animation techniques by breaking down complex movements into individual frames. His scientific approach revolutionized photography as a tool for studying motion. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing image, you are transported back to a moment frozen in time—a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity that continues to inspire us today.
