EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 19. Walking, Commencing to Turn Around, 1885" is a collotype print by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Measuring at 21.4x36.8 cm, this intriguing piece can be found in the collection of the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate showcases a woman in motion as she begins to turn around while walking. The sequential frames captured through stop motion technique provide a scientific study on movement that was ahead of its time. The subject's nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the image. It also allows for a detailed examination of her physique and physical attributes such as obesity or overweight tendencies. The woman's exposed belly and stomach highlight societal notions surrounding body image during the late 19th century. Muybridge's work revolutionized photography by capturing motion in still images, laying the foundation for early motion picture sequences and influencing future filmmakers and artists alike. This stunning print offers viewers a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression through photography. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal make it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection.
