EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 202. Dropping and Lifting a Hankerchief" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The print showcases a fascinating early motion picture sequence captured through collotype on paper. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image is from Volume III, which focuses on women in various movements. In this frame, we witness a sequential study of a nude female figure dropping and then lifting a handkerchief. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the way we perceive movement. By capturing multiple frames in quick succession, he created stop-motion sequences that allowed for detailed analysis of human locomotion. The stark contrast of black and white adds an element of timelessness to the image while emphasizing the subject's graceful movements. The woman's nudity serves as an artistic choice rather than one intended for commercial use or objectification. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their esteemed collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. "Plate 202. Dropping and Lifting a Hankerchief" stands as both an important scientific document and a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its exploration of motion and human form.
