EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 508. Shoeing a Horse" captures a remarkable moment frozen in time. Taken between 1872-85 by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. The image depicts a man, presumably a farrier, stooping down to shoe a horse's hoof with precision and expertise. The composition highlights the intense concentration on the man's face as he grips the tools necessary for this delicate task. The horse stands patiently, its powerful presence contrasting with the vulnerability of its nakedness. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this piece from his renowned series "Animal Locomotion". Through meticulous study and experimentation, he sought to understand movement and capture it accurately using stop-motion techniques. This particular print belongs to Volume II of his seminal work. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of early farm life – caring for horses' well-being. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with animals and their vital role in human history. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable scientific document that continues to inspire photographers and researchers alike.
