EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 182. Crawling On Hands and Knees" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 19.1x37.3 cm, and is currently housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" (1887), this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to women in motion. It showcases a sequential study of movement as a woman crawls on all fours with her hands and knees touching the ground. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences through his stop-motion technique using multiple frames. His scientific approach to photography allowed for detailed studies of human and animal locomotion, contributing significantly to the field of science. In this mesmerizing photograph, we witness the graceful yet powerful movements of a female figure navigating through space with elegance and precision. The nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition while emphasizing the focus solely on movement rather than personal identity or societal norms. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's artistic brilliance but also his invaluable contributions to both art and science through his pioneering photographic techniques capturing life in motion.
