EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 424. Toilet; Rising from Chair, and Putting on Shawl" 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 mastery of capturing motion through sequential frames. In this particular image, we see a Victorian-era woman elegantly rising from a chair while putting on her shawl. Her graceful movements are beautifully depicted, showcasing the intricate details of her white dress and parasol. The composition exudes an air of sophistication and refinement that was characteristic of the era. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this piece, as he sought to study movement through stop-motion techniques. Each frame tells a story within itself, allowing viewers to witness the transformation from sitting to standing with remarkable clarity. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document. It offers us a glimpse into the past while highlighting Muybridge's pioneering contributions to early motion picture sequences. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph captured over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate its timeless beauty and marvel at how far photography has come since then.
