EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 501. Miscellaneous, Stooping, Kneeling, etc. 1872-85" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Measuring at 20.2x40.8 cm, this collotype print showcases a sequence of actions performed by a female figure. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, Volume IV focuses on women in motion - specifically in their natural state of nudity. This scientific study delves into the intricacies of movement through stop-motion frames, offering valuable insights into early motion picture sequences. In this particular image, we witness the woman pouring liquid from one vessel to another while stooping down gracefully. The next frame shows her transitioning into a kneeling position as if engaged in prayer or genuflection before finally bending forward with remarkable flexibility. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture sequential movement revolutionized photography and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. His work not only served as an artistic expression but also contributed significantly to scientific research. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph today, we are reminded of Muybridge's pioneering spirit and his timeless contribution to both art and science.
