EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 764. Fish Hawk; Flying, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases the incredible motion and grace of a fish hawk mid-flight, its wings spread wide as it soars through the air. Taken using collotype on paper technique, this print is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion". Published in 1887 as Volume XI: Wild Animals and Birds, these photographs revolutionized our understanding of movement through their sequential nature. The intense scientific study behind this photograph is evident in every frame. Muybridge meticulously captured each stage of the bird's flight to create a stop-motion sequence that reveals intricate details about avian locomotion. This early motion picture sequence laid the foundation for future advancements in photography and cinematography. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is an invaluable contribution to both art and science. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to a time when capturing such fleeting moments was considered impossible. Through Muybridge's lens, we witness not only the beauty but also gain insight into how animals move and interact with their environment – forever preserving their untamed spirit within these frames.
