EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 493. Miscellaneous Phases of the Toilet, 1872-85" captures a unique moment in time through the lens of Eadweard Muybridge's camera. Part of his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. The image depicts a woman engaged in various stages of her morning routine, providing an intimate glimpse into the act of getting dressed. Seated on a chair, she delicately pulls up her stockings or socks while surrounded by scattered clothes and dresses waiting to be worn. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the movement and sequential nature captured within each frame. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident as he meticulously studies human movement and translates it into visual form. This particular plate from Volume IV focuses on women, showcasing their gracefulness and vulnerability through nudity. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this collotype print measures 23x31.4 cm. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we observe this mesmerizing image frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's technical mastery but also his ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed - an artistry that continues to inspire photographers today.
