EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 99. Turning and Ascending Stairs" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 17.5x43.2 cm, and currently resides in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate showcases the movement of a nude female figure as she gracefully turns and ascends a flight of stairs. With long flowing hair accentuating her fluid motion, the woman's ascent captures both elegance and strength. Muybridge's work revolutionized scientific photography with his stop-motion technique that allowed for detailed study of sequential movements. This early motion picture sequence paved the way for future developments in cinema and animation. The photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also highlights Muybridge's dedication to capturing human locomotion scientifically. It invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found within movement itself while shedding light on our understanding of anatomy and kinetics. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless moment frozen forever through Muybridge's lens.
