EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 702. Gnu; Bucking and Galloping, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 13.7x40.6 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. With its sequential frames capturing the gnu's wild movements with precision and detail, it serves as a testament to Muybridge's scientific approach to photography. In this particular frame, we witness the gnu bucking and galloping through open terrain. The thin yet powerful body of the antelope-like creature is depicted mid-air as it leaps gracefully into motion. Its emaciated form highlights both its vulnerability and resilience within its natural habitat. The striking horns atop the gnu's head add an element of majesty to this dynamic scene while emphasizing its untamed nature. Every muscle appears tense as it propels itself forward with incredible speed. Muybridge's meticulous study of movement allows us to delve into the intricate world of animal locomotion like never before. Through his lens, we gain insight into these creatures' behavior and anatomy that would have otherwise remained hidden from our understanding. This extraordinary photograph not only stands as a work of
