Mastiff Muybridge Phase Photographed Point Stride Walk Synchronously
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic print, titled "Dog (Mastiff) Walk: One Stride in Ten Phases, Photographed Synchronously from Two Points of View," is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early motion photography. Taken by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge in the 1880s, this series of images documents a mastiff dog taking a single stride, captured in ten distinct phases. Muybridge's groundbreaking work in motion photography began in 1872 when he was commissioned by Leland Stanford, the Governor of California, to settle a bet regarding the gait of a galloping horse. Using a series of cameras arranged in a line, Muybridge was able to capture multiple images of a moving subject, revealing the complex sequence of movements that make up a gallop. In this particular photograph, Muybridge employed a similar technique to capture the intricacies of a dog's stride. By setting up cameras from two different angles, he was able to document the dog's movement from multiple perspectives, providing a comprehensive and detailed record of the animal's gait. The mastiff in this photograph is shown in the midst of taking a single, powerful stride, with its muscles tensed and paws lifted off the ground. The ten phases capture the dog in various stages of this motion, from the initial lift of its paw to the final push-off. This historical photograph is not only a testament to Muybridge's innovative approach to capturing motion but also offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to observe and appreciate the beauty and power of a dog's stride in a way that was previously unimaginable.
