"Pacing: The Rhythmic Dance of Grace and Power" In the heart of Menorca's Hipodromo, Sant Lluis, witness the exhilarating spectacle of horse trotting races. As hooves thunder against the ground, a symphony of strength and elegance unfolds before your eyes. Transporting us back to 1885, collotype plates capture mesmerizing moments in time. Plate 728 reveals a lioness gracefully walking while another lies down; their majestic presence frozen forever on paper. Meanwhile, Plate 592 showcases a brown horse named Pronto rocking with an effortless pacing gait that exudes confidence. The litho depiction of "The Clouds that Gather round the Setting Sun" reminds us how nature itself sets its own pace. Just like these clouds drifting across the sky, life too has its own rhythm - sometimes fast-paced and at other times gentle and serene. Returning to our equine friends, Plate 591 brings forth Pronto once again as he rocks with his saddle in perfect harmony. In contrast, Plate 730 captures a tigress confidently turning around as she walks; her every movement radiating power and grace. Stepping away from animals for a moment but still embracing motion captured through artistry is "Off Duty, " an "At Home"on Board a Battleship litho. It invites contemplation about finding balance between work and leisure – knowing when to pause or set our own pace amidst life's demands. Continuing our exploration into animal kingdom paces are Plates 726 and 721 showcasing lions strolling with regal poise. Their measured steps symbolize dominance over their domain while reminding us to walk tall even in challenging times. Delving further into history takes us back centuries ago where we encounter A Pacing Horse cast in bronze circa1600 – an enduring testament to humanity's fascination with this particular gait throughout time. Concluding this visual journey is "That Wild Wheel, " an engraving that captures the essence of unbridled movement.
