EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Man running, Plate 65 from Animal Locomotion, 1887" is a remarkable piece of art captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken in the late 19th century as part of his groundbreaking series on animal and human locomotion, this print showcases the fluidity and grace of movement. In this particular image, we witness a male figure sprinting with incredible speed and determination. The subject's muscular physique is beautifully highlighted against the stark background, emphasizing every sinewy detail. With one foot off the ground mid-stride, he appears suspended in time for just an instant before propelling himself forward. Muybridge's mastery lies not only in capturing motion but also in presenting it from multiple angles simultaneously. Here we see both side profile and rear profile views merged seamlessly into one frame. This innovative technique allows us to appreciate every nuance of his subject's form as he races through space. The absence of clothing adds an additional layer of vulnerability to this powerful image. Stripped down to his bare essence, the runner embodies raw strength and determination without any societal constructs or inhibitions. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work that forever changed our understanding of photography and human motion. It invites us to marvel at both our physical capabilities and artistic possibilities while reminding us that even fleeting moments can be frozen in time for eternity through the lens of
