EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 14. Walking, Right Hand at Chin" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Measuring at 19.1x38.6 cm, the image portrays a sequential study of movement featuring a female figure walking with her right hand resting on her chin. The nude subject adds an artistic element to the scientific nature of the photograph, emphasizing the human form in motion. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion technique allows us to witness each frame individually while simultaneously experiencing the fluidity of the woman's stroll. This fusion of art and science highlights his dedication to capturing movement accurately for scientific observation. Housed within the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Volume III dedicated to women in Muybridge's comprehensive project "Animal Locomotion". Donated by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust as a gift to the gallery, it serves as a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on photography and his significant contribution to our understanding of locomotion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers worldwide.
