EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing Plate 606 from Eadweard Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". The image features a sulky cart pulled by a magnificent bay horse named Reuben, trotting with grace and power. Muybridge was renowned for his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences, using stop-motion photography to study the movement of animals and humans. This particular print is part of Volume IX dedicated to horses, providing valuable scientific insight into equestrian locomotion. The composition beautifully showcases the sequential frames of Reuben's trotting motion, highlighting every detail of his powerful stride. The man seated on the sulky cart confidently guides the horse as they navigate their way forward. With its historical significance and scientific purpose, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable study tool. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of animal locomotion during the late 19th century while demonstrating Muybridge's pioneering approach to capturing movement through photography. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype print stands as a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on both art and science. Its monochromatic beauty invites us to appreciate not only the elegance of Reuben but also the timeless allure of early photographic techniques.
