EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 445. Two Models-8 Drinking from Water-Jar on Shoulder of 1" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases two female models engaged in an intriguing action. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this image is featured in Volume IV dedicated to women. It exemplifies his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. In this particular frame, we witness one model carrying a water-jar on her shoulder while the other gracefully drinks from it. The composition beautifully highlights their sequential movements, creating a mesmerizing study of human motion. The nudity of the models adds an artistic element to the photograph, emphasizing their vulnerability and naturalness as they engage with each other and perform daily tasks like drinking water. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as both a scientific documentation of movement and an aesthetic masterpiece. Donated by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Muybridge's innovative approach to capturing motion paved the way for modern cinematography techniques. This powerful image reminds us of our connection to nature through simple actions like drinking water – a universal act that transcends time and culture.
