EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 748. Baboon; Walking on All-Fours, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a baboon in mid-stride as it gracefully moves across the frame on all fours. Muybridge's collotype print, part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" is an early motion picture sequence that revolutionized the study of movement and scientific photography. Each frame meticulously captures the subtle nuances of the baboon's gait, offering valuable insights into animal locomotion. The photograph exudes a sense of energy and vitality as we witness this primate navigating its environment with remarkable agility. Through Muybridge's lens, we are transported to a world where science meets art, where every detail matters in unraveling the mysteries of nature. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work and enduring legacy. It is no wonder that this piece has become an invaluable addition to their collection through the generous gift from Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this striking image today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its significant contribution to our understanding of animal behavior and motion capture techniques.
