EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 20. Walking, Right Elbow Bent" captures a moment frozen in time by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases one frame from Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Measuring at 24.5x31.1 cm, this scientific study of movement features a nude woman walking with her right elbow bent gracefully. The image is part of Volume III dedicated to women's locomotion within Muybridge's comprehensive work. Muybridge's innovative stop-motion technique revolutionized early motion picture sequences and provided valuable insights into human and animal locomotion for scientific purposes. Each frame meticulously captured the sequential movements of various subjects. In this particular frame, the female subject's nakedness is accentuated as she sways her hips while walking on what appears to be a contraption designed to measure her gait. The photograph beautifully portrays the fluidity of her motion, emphasizing the curves of her buttocks and showcasing the gracefulness inherent in human movement. Currently housed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's significant contributions to both photography and science during his lifetime.
