EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ostrich Running, Plate 772 from Animal Locomotion, 1887" captures the sheer power and grace of one of nature's most fascinating creatures. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in the late 19th century, this print showcases an ostrich in full motion. From a side view perspective, we witness the world's largest bird in all its glory. Its long legs are stretched out mid-stride as it propels itself forward with incredible speed. The ostrich's neck extends gracefully ahead while its wings remain tucked close to its body - a testament to its flightless nature. Muybridge was a pioneer in capturing motion through photography, and this image is no exception. Frozen in time, we can almost feel the wind rushing past us as we imagine ourselves running alongside this magnificent creature. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this historic photograph offers us a glimpse into both natural history and early photographic techniques. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with movement and our desire to document even the most fleeting moments. Whether displayed on your wall or admired within a collection, this striking print will undoubtedly spark conversations about wildlife, photography advancements during that era, and mankind's eternal quest to understand and appreciate the wonders of our natural world.
