EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 677. Goat; Walking in Sulky, 1885" captures a unique moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases an intriguing scene from his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a goat harnessed to a sulky, confidently striding forward with purpose. The collotype print on paper beautifully emphasizes the intricate details of both the animal and its surroundings. Muybridge's mastery of capturing motion is evident as he presents us with a mesmerizing sequence that feels like an early motion picture. The composition not only highlights the goat's elegance but also showcases the craftsmanship of the cart it pulls. With its wheels ready for action and harness securely fastened, this carriage becomes an integral part of the narrative captured within this single frame. A figure wearing a hat can be seen sitting atop the sulky, guiding both goat and vehicle along their path. This mysterious presence adds depth to our interpretation of this remarkable moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this scientific study turned work of art, we are reminded of Muybridge's significant contributions to photography and his relentless pursuit to understand movement through sequential images. This print serves as a testament to his innovative spirit and enduring legacy within both artistic and scientific realms alike.
