EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 745. Raccoon; Walking; and Turning Around, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular print, we see a raccoon gracefully strolling through its natural habitat. With each step meticulously captured, Muybridge's collotype technique reveals the intricate details of the raccoon's striped fur as it walks and turns around. The contrast between light and shadow enhances the dynamic nature of this early motion picture sequence. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography allowed him to dissect movement frame by frame, providing invaluable insights into animal locomotion for both artistic and scientific purposes. This photograph stands as a testament to his pioneering work in capturing motion with precision. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Massachusetts, USA, this print serves as an important historical artifact that continues to inspire photographers and scientists alike. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty of wildlife but also Muybridge's innovative contribution to photographic techniques. With its timeless appeal and striking composition, "Plate 745. Raccoon; Walking; and Turning Around" offers us a glimpse into nature's wonders frozen forever on paper – an exquisite reminder of our fascination with capturing life in motion.
