EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 250. Rising from Chair, Stooping and Lifting Hand-kerchief" captures a mesmerizing sequence of motion frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a woman gracefully rising from a chair while stooping to lift her handkerchief. The image exudes elegance and poise, with the subject wearing a beautiful Victorian-style gown that drapes around her figure flawlessly. Her fan adds an air of sophistication to the scene. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this study of movement. By capturing sequential frames through stop-motion techniques, he provides us with an invaluable insight into human locomotion during that era. This photograph serves as both art and documentation, bridging the gap between science and aesthetics. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. Its presence among other artistic treasures signifies its significance within the realm of fine art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's technical mastery but also how photography can transcend time itself – freezing moments forever etched into history for generations to come.
