EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 141. Descending Stairs and Flirting Fan, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which was published in 1887. In this particular print, we see a Victorian-era woman elegantly descending a flight of stairs while holding a flirtatious fan. The collotype technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Muybridge's work revolutionized the world of photography and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His scientific approach to capturing movement through sequential frames made him an influential figure in both art and science. The photograph not only showcases Muybridge's technical mastery but also offers us a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the late 19th century. The woman's graceful descent down the stairs exudes poise and sophistication, while her use of a fan hints at playful coquetry. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as an invaluable historical document that continues to inspire artists and researchers alike. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, it reminds us of how far photography has come since Muybridge's pioneering days while celebrating his enduring legacy as one of history's
