EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 219. Stooping and Lifting Broom and Sweeping" is a remarkable piece of art captured by Eadweard Muybridge in the late 19th century. The image belongs to his renowned series called "Animal Locomotion" which revolutionized the world of photography and motion studies. Measuring at 15.9x44.3 cm, this collotype print showcases a sequence of frames depicting a woman engaged in household chores - specifically stooping, lifting a broom, and sweeping. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the fluidity of movement frozen within each frame. The photograph not only captures the physical actions involved in everyday tasks but also serves as an early precursor to motion pictures. It highlights Muybridge's scientific approach towards photography as he sought to study human locomotion through sequential images. One cannot ignore the artistic beauty present in this photograph; it portrays both vulnerability and strength simultaneously. The female figure depicted here stands nude, emphasizing her natural form while engaging in mundane domestic work. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's groundbreaking work continues to inspire photographers and artists today with its fusion of science and artistry. This particular image invites viewers into an intimate moment frozen in time – a testament to both human movement and our shared
