EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 211. Stooping and Lifting Hand-Kerchief; Parasol in Left Hand" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by Eadweard Muybridge in 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the scientific study of movement. In this particular frame, we see a woman dressed in Victorian style attire, wearing a white dress and hat. She is depicted stooping down gracefully while lifting her handkerchief to her face. With an elegant parasol held firmly in her left hand, she exudes poise and grace. Muybridge's pioneering work revolutionized the field of photography by capturing sequential frames that mimicked early motion picture sequences. This image not only showcases his technical mastery but also highlights the beauty found within everyday actions. The monochromatic tones add depth to the composition, emphasizing both light and shadow. The attention to detail is evident as every fold of fabric and subtle expression on the woman's face are impeccably captured. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's contribution to both art and science. It invites viewers into a world where time stands still yet movement comes alive through each carefully crafted frame.
