EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 477. Child, Stooping, Lifting a Goblet, and Drinking" by Eadweard Muybridge, takes us back to the year 1885. The image is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to capture movement in a scientific and sequential manner. In this particular frame from Volume VI of the series, we see a young child stooping down with her tiny hands gripping a delicate goblet. Her face is filled with curiosity as she lifts the goblet towards her lips for a sip. The innocence and vulnerability of childhood are beautifully portrayed through this frozen moment in time. Muybridge's collotype technique adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing our appreciation for his meticulous study of motion. This early motion picture sequence predates modern-day films but serves as an important precursor to cinematography. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both art history and scientific exploration. It reminds us that even simple actions like drinking can be transformed into moments of beauty when captured through the lens of an artist. As we admire this enchanting image by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it transport us back to an era where photography was still evolving as an art form while simultaneously pushing boundaries in scientific research.
