[Fox] 1886

Ottomar Anschütz’s 1886 photograph, “[Fox]”, captures a red fox standing in profile with its tail arched, a sharp contrast against the desolate landscape. The fox’s alert stance and a glimpse of its sharp teeth evoke a sense of wildness, emphasizing Anschütz’s fascination with capturing animal movement in motion. The image, a testament to his early work in photographic technology, showcases the distinct clarity and detail characteristic of his photographic style.
