EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 265. Getting Out of Bed and Preparing to Kneel" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken in 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a woman gracefully emerging from her slumber, preparing to kneel beside her bedstead. The sequential nature of the image allows us to observe every subtle movement as she rises from sleep, her billowing white nightgown adding an ethereal quality to the scene. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident here, as he meticulously studied human movement through stop-motion frames. This photograph serves not only as a beautiful artistic composition but also as a valuable study in capturing the essence of motion. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their esteemed gallery further solidifies its significance within both art and scientific communities alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded of Muybridge's lasting impact on photography and his invaluable contribution to our understanding of human locomotion.
