EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 417. Toilet; Sitting and Putting on Stockings, 1885" captures a moment of intimate vulnerability and grace. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this image showcases the early beginnings of motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we see a woman in semi-nude attire sitting on a chair while delicately putting on her stockings. The loose blouse and robe she wears add to the sense of ease and comfort in her private space. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident here as he meticulously studies movement through sequential frames. The composition exudes an air of timeless elegance with its monochromatic palette, accentuating every detail from the folds in the woman's dress to the texture of her stockings. It invites us into a fleeting moment that speaks volumes about femininity, self-care, and personal rituals. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document. Its presence reminds us of Muybridge's significant contributions to photography as well as our ever-evolving understanding of human locomotion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time while also appreciating its relevance today – reminding us that beauty can be found even in life's simplest moments.
