EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 744. Raccoon; Walking; Change to Galloping, 1885" captures a unique moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print measures 16.4x45.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Through stop-motion photography, Muybridge meticulously captured frames that revealed the intricate movements of animals and birds. In this particular plate, we witness a raccoon transitioning from a leisurely walk to an energetic gallop. The sequential nature of the photographs allows us to study every detail of its movement with scientific precision. The raccoon itself stands as a symbol of North American wildlife—a wild mammal gracefully strolling on its side against a simple backdrop. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to our understanding of animal locomotion. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, this remarkable piece exemplifies how photography can be used as both art and science simultaneously—capturing moments that would otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless snapshot for all to appreciate—an enduring testament to Muybridge's genius and his invaluable contribution to the world of photography and motion studies.
