EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 562. Lateral Curvature of Spine; Walking, 1885" is a remarkable piece by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image, captured using the collotype printing technique on paper, measures 15.7x46.4 cm and is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate focuses on abnormal movements observed in men and women during walking. It showcases a young boy with scoliosis bravely taking steps forward despite his disability. The photograph beautifully captures motion and action through its stop-motion sequence frames. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the study of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. In this thought-provoking image, we witness not only a scientific study but also an intimate glimpse into the resilience of human spirit. The boy's determination to stroll despite his physical challenges serves as an inspiration to all who view this photograph. With its meticulous composition and powerful storytelling capabilities, this print offers a unique perspective on disability while highlighting Muybridge's mastery behind the lens. As we delve into each frame within this sequential masterpiece, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, there is beauty in every step taken towards progress.
