About this print
Muybridge photographed animals from the Philadelphia Zoological Garden for the wild animals volume of Animal Locomotion, and the elephant is the most endearing of them: a steady walk laid out frame by frame, so the order in which the great feet lift and fall can be followed along each row. The sequence was made between 1884 and 1886 and published in 1887. The repeated grey silhouettes make a pattern that works as well for a child's room as for a study. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds the plate and releases it into the public domain. Printed to order at gallery scale in its own fixed palette.
