EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 257. Lying on the Ground, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. Measuring at 24.9x30.3 cm, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's scientific approach to photography and his fascination with capturing motion through sequential frames. In this particular plate, we see a male figure sitting and then lying down on the ground, providing an intimate glimpse into human movement. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences and paved the way for modern cinema as we know it today. His meticulous study of movement not only contributed to scientific research but also elevated photography as an art form. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence in their collection speaks to its significance within American art history. As you observe this mesmerizing photograph captured over a century ago, take note of how Muybridge's mastery freezes time while simultaneously revealing our inherent connection to movement and action – a testament to both science and artistic expression.
