EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 380. Carpenter, Sawing" captures a moment frozen in time during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume V dedicated to men's movements. The photo measures approximately 22.4x32.4 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Intriguingly scientific yet artistically composed, the image depicts a carpenter engaged in sawing woodwork. With his muscular physique partially exposed under a pelvis cloth or loincloth, the carpenter's intense focus is palpable as he wields his tool with precision. Muybridge's mastery lies not only in capturing motion but also presenting it through sequential frames like an early motion picture sequence. This pioneering approach revolutionized photography and paved the way for future studies on movement. The timeless appeal of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its aesthetic beauty. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while highlighting every detail – from the carpenter's determined expression to his meticulously crafted woodworking tools. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to an era where science met artistic innovation—a testament to both human ingenuity
