EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 253. Kneeling Elbows on Chair, Hands Clasped" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885. The image is a collotype print from Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion". In this particular frame, we see a woman kneeling on a chair with her elbows resting upon it. Her hands are gently clasped together as she engages in prayer or contemplation. A warm smile graces her face, adding an element of serenity to the composition. Muybridge's work revolutionized the world of photography and motion studies during his time. His sequential images captured various movements and actions meticulously, contributing to early motion picture sequences and scientific research. The photograph not only showcases the technical brilliance of Muybridge but also highlights the beauty of human movement and expression. The simplicity of the subject matter allows us to focus on the gracefulness of this woman's posture and her peaceful demeanor. Currently housed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's profound influence on both art and science. It invites viewers to appreciate the intersection between photography as an artistic medium and its significant role in capturing moments frozen in time for scientific analysis. Overall, this striking image offers a glimpse into history while celebrating both human form and photographic innovation that continue to inspire generations today.
