EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 447. Two models, 9 Taking Water-Jar from Shoulder of 10" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the 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 IV dedicated to women. It depicts two female models engaged in a fluid motion as one gracefully takes a water-jar from the shoulder of the other. The sequential frames beautifully capture their movement, showcasing Muybridge's scientific approach to photography. The subjects' nudity adds an artistic element to the composition while emphasizing their vulnerability and naturalness. The absence of clothing highlights their bare bodies against the stark background, drawing attention to their actions rather than societal conventions. Muybridge's meticulous study of motion revolutionized early motion picture sequences and paved the way for future advancements in film-making techniques. This photograph serves as a testament to his dedication towards capturing movement with precision and accuracy. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. Its presence within these esteemed walls ensures that Muybridge's pioneering work continues to inspire generations with its blend of artistry and scientific exploration.
