EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Motions of Animals illustrated by the Instantaneous Photographs of Mr Muybridge" transports us back to the late 19th century, when Eadweard Muybridge revolutionized the world of photography with his groundbreaking motion studies. The image showcases a diverse array of animals captured in various stages of movement, each frame frozen in time. In this intricate composition, we see a young girl stroke a cockatoo perched on her shoulder while other creatures surround them. From horses trotting and galloping to cats leaping and kittens playfully chasing one another, this print offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the natural world's dynamic energy. The scene is further enriched by elements from Greek mythology, as evidenced by the presence of sculptures resembling those found on ancient friezes and even echoes of the Parthenon. This fusion between art and science highlights humanity's enduring fascination with both nature and culture. Through Wilson's skilled engraving technique, he masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind each animal's motion. The feathers ruffle as birds take flight; muscles strain as horses race; feline grace is evident in every leap. This print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing movement through instantaneous photographs. It invites us to marvel at these fleeting moments frozen forever on paper—a testament to our shared existence with these remarkable creatures that inhabit our world.
