EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 117. Descending Incline" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases the early stages of motion picture sequence experimentation. Measuring at 23.5x32.4 cm, this image is housed within the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. The photo belongs to Volume III of Muybridge's comprehensive study on animal locomotion and specifically focuses on women in motion. The frame depicts a female figure gracefully descending an incline with remarkable poise and elegance. Her nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition while highlighting the beauty of human movement. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through as he meticulously captured each frame to analyze sequential movement. This particular shot showcases his mastery in capturing action-packed moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era when science met artistry. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work that laid the foundation for modern cinematography techniques. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exceptional piece of photographic history for us all to appreciate its artistic value and scientific significance alike.
