EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 52. Walking carrying child, turning around; another child (70)" captures a beautiful moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a Victorian-style woman gracefully walking while carrying a child in her arms. As she turns around, another child clings onto her dress, creating an endearing scene that speaks volumes about motherhood and the bond between siblings. Muybridge's collotype technique brings out intricate details and textures within the composition, emphasizing the fluidity of movement despite being captured as individual frames. This scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. The photograph offers us a glimpse into late 19th-century life through its subjects' clothing and mannerisms. It serves as both a study of human movement and an intimate portrayal of family dynamics during that era. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift to their collection. Its presence there ensures that future generations can appreciate Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing moments like these with scientific precision and artistic finesse.
