EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 59. Starting for a Run (Shoes)", captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases the early stages of motion picture sequences. The image portrays a male figure, clad only in a pelvis cloth or loincloth, preparing to sprint forward with intense determination. The subject's body is captured mid-action, showcasing the fluidity and grace of his movements. This scientific study of movement provides an invaluable insight into human locomotion during that era. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in each frame of this sequence. Through stop-motion photography techniques, he meticulously documented the various stages of running - from the initial push-off to full stride - allowing viewers to witness every subtle nuance. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this particular print measures approximately 21.9x35.4 cm. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph today, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science but also how far technology has advanced since then. This timeless image continues to inspire awe as it encapsulates the essence of human athleticism and serves as a testament to our eternal quest for progress and understanding through visual documentation.
