EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 209. Stooping and Lifting A Hand-Kerchief, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a woman dressed in a delicate white gown with a long train, evoking an air of elegance and femininity. She stoops gracefully to lift her handkerchief from the ground, showcasing both poise and dexterity. The Victorian-style attire adds an element of historical charm to the scene. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this collotype print on paper. Each frame captures a distinct motion within the sequence, providing valuable scientific insight into human locomotion during that era. The composition invites viewers to ponder not only the physical act depicted but also broader themes such as gracefulness, vulnerability, and even wedding symbolism associated with virginal purity. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. It stands as an enduring reminder of how art can intersect with science to unlock new realms of understanding about our world.
