EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 260. Arising from Couch and Stretching Arms, 1885" is a stunning example of early motion picture sequence captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a male figure in various stages of movement, providing a scientific study on animal locomotion. Measuring at 23.2x31.8 cm, this collotype print holds immense historical significance as part of Muybridge's groundbreaking work in his publication "Animal Locomotion" in 1887. The volume aimed to capture the essence of movement through sequential frames, revolutionizing our understanding of motion. In this particular plate, we witness a man with an impressive moustache rising from a couch and stretching his arms gracefully towards the sky. The composition beautifully captures the fluidity and gracefulness of human movement frozen in time. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this artwork was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's pioneering photography not only paved the way for modern cinema but also provided invaluable insights into human and animal locomotion that continue to influence scientific studies today. This remarkable photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important scientific document capturing a fleeting moment forever etched onto paper through Muybridge's lens.
