EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 665. Ass; Walking; Bareback; a Boy Riding, Jennie, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a young boy confidently riding bareback on a donkey named Jennie. With an air of curiosity and adventure, the boy's face radiates joy as he takes control of his gentle companion. Muybridge's collotype print beautifully depicts motion and action through its sequential frames. This particular photograph is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which aimed to scientifically study movement using stop-motion photography. It serves as an early precursor to motion pictures and highlights Muybridge's pioneering contributions to the field of photography.

Through this timeless image captured over a century ago, we are transported back to a simpler time when children roamed freely with their animal companions – reminding us that even today amidst our fast-paced lives there is still room for
