EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 9. Walking, 1872-85" is a remarkable example of early motion picture sequence captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Measuring at 18.6x37 cm, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work in capturing the essence of movement through sequential frames. Part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this particular plate focuses on men's walking motion depicted with utmost precision and scientific accuracy. The subject, clad only in a loincloth or pelvis cloth, strolls gracefully across the frame as if frozen mid-stride. Muybridge's meticulous study of movement revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for advancements in photography and cinematography. The image evokes a sense of curiosity and wonder as we witness an early glimpse into the world of stop-motion photography. Each frame captures a distinct moment within the walking cycle, allowing us to appreciate both the fluidity and intricacy involved in such a seemingly simple action. Housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius and his significant contribution to both science and art. It stands as an enduring reminder that even mundane actions like walking can be transformed into extraordinary visual experiences through skilled observation and technical mastery.
