EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 475. Child, Getting Up on Chair, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a young child, possibly a toddler, bravely attempting to climb up onto a chair. The innocence and determination radiate from their face as they navigate the challenge before them. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this collotype print on paper. The monochromatic palette adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene while emphasizing the scientific nature of Muybridge's work. This early motion picture sequence provides us with valuable insights into human locomotion and serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. Acquired by the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print stands as an important piece within their collection. Donated by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, it continues to captivate viewers with its raw beauty and profound exploration of movement. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured over a century ago, we are reminded that even simple acts like climbing onto a chair can hold great significance when viewed through an artist's lens.
