EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 643. Jumping a Hurdle; Bareback; Clearing and Landing;, 1885" showcases the remarkable talent of Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we witness a thrilling moment frozen in time. A skilled horse rider leaps over a hurdle with grace and precision, showcasing both athleticism and trust between man and animal. The intense focus on their faces reveals the determination to conquer any obstacle that comes their way. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully captures every detail of this action-packed scene. From the flowing mane of the horse to the dust kicked up by its hooves, each element adds to the sense of motion frozen within this print. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated. It serves as an early precursor to motion pictures, capturing movement in a way never seen before. This scientific exploration into animal locomotion not only fascinated scholars but also influenced artists across various disciplines. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print holds immense value as it represents an important milestone in both photographic history and our understanding of human-animal interaction. As viewers gaze upon it today, they are transported back to a time when innovation merged with artistry to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
