EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 238. Sitting on Chair, Crossing Legs, Drinking from Tea Cup" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we see a woman seated gracefully on a chair, her legs crossed elegantly while she delicately sips from a tea cup. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and refinement as the subject engages in this simple act of enjoying her beverage. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident here as he meticulously studies movement through sequential frames. This image not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to our understanding of human locomotion. The nudity of the female figure adds another layer to the photograph's intrigue, highlighting both vulnerability and strength simultaneously. It challenges societal norms while celebrating the beauty and naturalness of the human form. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their esteemed collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers with its blend of artistry and scientific exploration that transcends time itself.
