EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 518. Sitting Down, Rising, etc. 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the legendary 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 seated gracefully on a chair with her fan delicately poised in her hand. Her elegant dress drapes around her as she engages in the simple act of fanning herself. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe every nuance of this motion with scientific precision. The collotype printing technique used for this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Measuring at approximately 20.8x35.9 cm, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in the intricate details captured within. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of artistry, they are transported back in time to an era where capturing motion was still a novelty and early forms of cinematography were just beginning to emerge. This photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering spirit and his invaluable contributions to both science and photography. Displayed proudly at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; it continues to inspire awe and fascination among all who have the privilege of beholding it firsthand.
