EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 22. Walking, With High-Heeled Boots On" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases the early motion picture sequence that revolutionized the study of movement. In this particular frame, we see a nude female figure confidently striding forward with high-heeled boots on. The woman's graceful gait is beautifully captured as she moves through space with elegance and poise. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion technique allows us to appreciate every subtle nuance of her stride. The scientific nature of this photograph cannot be overlooked. It serves as an important visual record for understanding human locomotion and anatomy during the late 19th century. Through his sequential frames, Muybridge aimed to capture the essence of movement in a way that had never been done before. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Volume III dedicated to women in Muybridge's comprehensive study on animal locomotion. Its inclusion in such a prestigious collection highlights its significance as both an artistic achievement and a scientific document. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, we are transported back to a time when photography was still evolving into an art form capable of capturing life's most fleeting moments.
