EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 38. Walking, Opening Parasol, 1885" showcases the artistic genius of Eadweard Muybridge. The print, a collotype on paper measuring 25.2x29.2 cm, is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular image captures a moment frozen in time - a woman gracefully walking while opening her parasol. With meticulous attention to detail and scientific precision, Muybridge revolutionized early motion picture sequences through his stop-motion photography technique. The photograph exudes an air of Victorian elegance as the female subject dons a beautiful white dress and holds her parasol with poise. Through this single frame captured by Muybridge's lens, we witness both movement and stillness simultaneously. Meticulously framed within the boundaries of science and study, this image serves as a testament to Muybridge's groundbreaking contributions to photography and our understanding of human locomotion. It invites viewers to delve into the world of sequential imagery and appreciate the beauty found within each individual frame. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent or mention thereof – let us marvel at how art can capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed – forever preserving them for generations to come.
