EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the innovative world of early photography. The image is an illustration from "La Station Psychogique de Paris" by Etienne-Jules Marey, a renowned pioneer in the field of chronophotography. In this particular scene, we see a figure elegantly dressed in white walking gracefully in front of a stark black screen. This seemingly simple composition holds great significance as it represents Marey's groundbreaking technique of capturing multiple phases of movement within one photograph. Marey's chronophotographic method revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for modern cinematography. By meticulously recording sequential images on a single plate, he was able to analyze and study various forms of locomotion like never before. The engraving beautifully captures Marey's ingenuity and his dedication to pushing the boundaries of visual representation. It serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to scientific progress during that era. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded not only of Marey's immense contributions but also how far photography has come since then. This print stands as a tribute to those who dared to challenge convention and explore new realms through their lens.
