EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 471. Child, Crawling on Hands and Knees" was taken in 1885 by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is a collotype print measuring 18.7x40.3 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate belongs to Volume VI, which focuses on females (semi-nude) and children. The collection aimed to capture motion through a sequence of frames, essentially creating an early form of motion picture. In this specific frame, we see a young child - a toddler girl - crawling on all fours with remarkable energy and determination. Her nakedness adds vulnerability to her innocent exploration of movement while showcasing Muybridge's scientific approach to photography. Muybridge's work revolutionized the study of human locomotion and had significant implications for various fields such as science and art alike. His meticulous documentation allowed for detailed analysis of movement patterns that were previously inaccessible. This photograph not only captures the curiosity and innocence inherent in childhood but also serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering spirit within the realm of sequential photography. It stands as both an artistic marvel from the past and an invaluable resource for those interested in understanding human kinetics throughout history.
