EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 263. Getting into Bed" is a remarkable print by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Created between 1872 and 1885, this collotype on paper captures a moment of motion in an early motion picture sequence. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this particular plate belongs to Volume IV dedicated to Women (Nude). The image showcases a sequential study of movement featuring a female figure gracefully getting into bed. With scientific precision, Muybridge meticulously captured each frame to reveal the fluidity and beauty of human motion. The composition focuses on the woman's nude form as she lies down on the bed, her body partially covered by blankets. The simplicity of the bedroom setting allows viewers to concentrate solely on the subject's movements and gestures. Muybridge's pioneering work in stop-motion photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. This photograph serves as both an artistic expression and a scientific study, highlighting Muybridge's dedication to capturing life through his lens. Currently housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today with its blend of artistry, science, and exploration into human locomotion.
