EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 451 captures a fascinating moment frozen in time, showcasing the groundbreaking work of Eadweard Muybridge. This photograph is part of his iconic series 'Animal Locomotion, ' which revolutionized the study of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. In this particular image, two models are depicted engaging in a simple yet intimate act: sharing a cup of tea. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between their actions - one model delicately brings the cup towards her companion, while the other gracefully takes a sip from it. Their nudity adds an additional layer of vulnerability and rawness to the scene. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every frame, as he meticulously documented each stage of human locomotion. His scientific approach to photography allowed him to capture movements that were previously invisible to the naked eye. This print, measuring 26.4x27.9 cm, is housed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. It was generously donated by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust and remains an invaluable piece within their collection. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's technical brilliance but also his ability to evoke emotion through his artistry.
