EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph series, titled "The Horse in Motion: Sallie Gardner, owned by Leland Stanford," depicts the magnificent Sallie Gardner in action as she gallops at a 1:40 gait over the Palo Alto track on June 19, 1878. Leland Stanford, a prominent businessman and former Governor of California, owned this remarkable Thoroughbred racehorse. The series consists of twelve frames, each capturing a different moment in time, providing a unique insight into the horse's graceful and powerful motion. The Palo Alto track, located in California, was a significant venue for horse racing during the late 19th century. The innovative use of a series of twelve photographs to document a horse in motion was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of equine photography. This collection offers an intriguing glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and athleticism of Sallie Gardner as she effortlessly glides across the track. The photographs were taken around the same time as Eadweard Muybridge's famous studies of galloping horses at the Palo Alto track. However, unlike Muybridge's work, which focused on the sequential analysis of a horse's gait, these images were created to celebrate the artistry and elegance of the horse in motion. This series is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the beauty of the horse, which continues to inspire and captivate us today.
