EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 673. Sow; Walking, 1885" showcases the remarkable work of Eadweard Muybridge. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 16x46.4 cm, and is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate captures the fluid motion of a sow walking with grace and purpose. Through his meticulous stop-motion technique, Muybridge was able to dissect movement into individual frames, offering a scientific study of locomotion that revolutionized photography. The photograph exudes an air of scientific precision as it freezes each moment in time during the sow's stroll. It serves as an early motion picture sequence that unveils the hidden beauty within seemingly ordinary actions. Muybridge's dedication to capturing animal locomotion not only contributed to advancements in photography but also provided valuable insights into the mechanics of movement itself. This sequential portrayal allows viewers to appreciate every subtle shift and extension made by the sow as it moves through space. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of both its artistic allure and its significant contribution to scientific exploration. Muybridge's ability to merge artistry with science continues to inspire generations today.
