EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 780. Storks; Swans, etc. 1885" captures a mesmerizing motion sequence of various birds in action. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 20x37.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular image belongs to Volume XI dedicated to wild animals and birds. It showcases Muybridge's scientific approach to photography as he aimed to study movement through sequential frames. In this frame-by-frame composition, we witness a dynamic scene unfolding before our eyes: storks gracefully take flight while swans glide elegantly across a pond or pool of water. The ducks join them as they swim effortlessly through the aquatic environment. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and stop-motion techniques that revolutionized both art and science alike. His meticulous documentation allowed for an unprecedented understanding of animal locomotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to witness nature's beauty frozen within each frame. The stillness captured here belies the vibrant energy these creatures possess when set into motion—a testament to both Muybridge's artistic vision and his dedication to unraveling the mysteries of movement through photography.
