EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 678. Goat; Trotting, in Sulky, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases an intriguing early motion picture sequence that depicts the movement of a goat trotting while harnessed to a sulky cart. Muybridge's collotype on paper print measures 17.8x42.6 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA. This particular artwork belongs to Muybridge's renowned series called "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. The photograph offers a scientific study of animal locomotion through sequential frames captured with stop motion photography techniques. It presents us with an extraordinary glimpse into the world of movement and action during that era. In this specific frame, we see the goat pulling the wheeled cart as it trots along energetically. A driver can be seen seated in the sulky wearing a hat—a testament to human involvement in this fascinating scene. This remarkable piece serves as both art and documentation—showcasing Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential photographs while providing valuable insights into animal behavior and locomotion for scientific purposes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within their collection—an exquisite example of early photographic mastery that continues to captivate viewers today.
