EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 103. Turning and Ascending Stairs, Pitcher & Goblet in Hands" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women. It is a scientific study that explores movement through sequential frames, resembling an early motion picture sequence. In this frame, we see a nude female figure gracefully ascending a set of turning stairs. With poise and elegance, she carries both a pitcher and goblet in her hands as she climbs upwards. The contrast between her nakedness against the stark backdrop creates a powerful visual impact. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the fluidity of human motion captured within each frame. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes significantly to scientific research on movement during that era. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection further solidifies its significance as an important piece of photographic history.
