EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 183. Walking on Hands and Feet" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-1885, this collotype print measures 16x45.7 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to women's movements. The image showcases a sequential motion study of a nude female figure walking on her hands and feet with remarkable agility. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. Each frame meticulously captured reveals the intricate details of human locomotion that were previously unseen or misunderstood. In this specific frame, we witness the woman crouched low with her body bent forward as she gracefully moves across space using only her hands and feet for support. The nudity adds an element of vulnerability while emphasizing the raw beauty and strength inherent in human anatomy. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph, we are transported back in time to witness Muybridge's pioneering work that forever changed how we perceive motion through artistry and science combined into one powerful image.
