Paard met ruiter springt over een hek before 1899

This black and white photograph, part of a book from the Rijksmuseum, captures the dynamic moment of a horse and rider jumping over a fence. Created by an anonymous artist before 1899, the image showcases the early use of photography to analyze the motion of animals and humans. This small but detailed image reflects the growing interest in capturing the intricacies of movement during the late 19th century, and highlights the power of photography as a scientific tool.
