EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "[Two Cheetahs], 1888" is a remarkable piece of art created by Ottomar Anschütz. Taken in the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases two magnificent cheetahs in their natural habitat in Africa. The image beautifully captures the essence of these graceful creatures, known for their incredible speed and striking spotted coats. The cheetahs' sleek bodies are adorned with intricate patterns that blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Their piercing eyes seem to hold a sense of curiosity and alertness as they gaze into the distance. Ottomar Anschütz, a German photographer renowned for his pioneering work in photography during this era, skillfully captured this moment frozen in time. His attention to detail and composition is evident through the clarity and sharpness of every element within the frame. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only celebrates the beauty of African wildlife but also serves as a testament to Anschütz's contribution to the world of photography. It transports viewers back to an era when capturing such images required immense patience and technical expertise. As we admire this extraordinary piece from our heritage collection, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its significance as a historical document that preserves nature's wonders forever.
