EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 210. Stooping and Lifting A Dress; Fan in Left Hand, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned 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 Victorian-era woman gracefully stooping down while lifting her long dress with one hand. She holds a delicate fan in her other hand, adding an air of elegance to the scene. The flowing gown drapes around her figure, showcasing the fashion style of that era. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he captures every subtle movement and gesture with precision. This collotype print on paper showcases his scientific approach to photography, as well as his artistic eye for composition. The photograph not only serves as a historical document but also invites us into a world where motion can be dissected and studied frame by frame. It hints at the early beginnings of motion pictures and stop-motion animation techniques that would later become integral parts of cinema. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this stunning piece offers viewers a glimpse into both Victorian society and Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing human locomotion through photography.
