EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 395. Turning a Crank Handle" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study movement through sequential photography. In this particular print, we see a man in the nude engaging in an action that may seem mundane at first glance – turning a crank handle. However, Muybridge's genius lies in capturing these seemingly ordinary movements with scientific precision and artistic flair. The collotype technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. As we observe each frame of the motion picture sequence frozen in time, we are reminded of Muybridge's pioneering contribution to early motion picture studies. Through his meticulous documentation of human and animal locomotion, Muybridge revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. This photograph serves as both a scientific study and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers over a century later. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print stands as a testament to Muybridge's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential photographers.
