EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 756. Pigeon; Flying, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment of avian grace and movement frozen in time. Taken by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image is from Volume XI, dedicated to wild animals and birds. With meticulous attention to detail, Muybridge presents us with a study of flight as he documents the precise movements of a pigeon mid-flight. The image reveals the intricate mechanics behind bird flight - the powerful flapping wings that propel them through the air with elegance and precision. Each feather seems to be captured in exquisite detail as they flutter against an unseen force. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His work not only served as a valuable tool for scientific research but also showcased the artistic beauty hidden within nature's most ordinary moments. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print stands as a testament to both Muybridge's technical prowess and his ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. It serves as an enduring reminder of mankind's fascination with capturing life in all its dynamic glory.
