EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 568. Hauling; Dark-Gray Belgian Horse Billy, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a powerful dark-gray Belgian horse named Billy engaged in hauling, showcasing its immense strength and grace. Taken using the collotype printing technique on paper, this print is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion". Published in 1887 as Volume IX of his extensive work, this collection revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we witness the meticulous attention to detail that Muybridge employed to capture every nuance of motion. The horse's muscles are taut with exertion as it pulls a heavy load with ease. Its tack - harnesses, bridles, and reins - adds authenticity to the scene while highlighting the essential role these tools play in equine transportation. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography paved the way for early motion picture sequences and became an invaluable resource for studying animal locomotion. This mesmerizing image not only serves as a testament to his technical skill but also immortalizes Billy's contribution as an integral part of farm life during that era. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA since being gifted by Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, this photograph continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance within both
