EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 479. Child, Getting Up from the Ground, 1885" captures a moment of pure innocence and determination. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series on animal locomotion, this print showcases the early beginnings of motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a child in their early stages of development rising from the ground. The child's crouched position suggests that they were previously engaged in play or exploration before deciding to stand up. With arms outstretched for balance and eyes fixed ahead with unwavering focus, it is evident that this act requires effort and concentration. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography allows us to study movement in its most sequential form. Through stop-motion frames like these, he unraveled the mysteries behind human locomotion and provided invaluable insights into our physical capabilities. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when photography was still in its infancy but already pushing boundaries. We are reminded of the beauty found within everyday moments - those small victories that mark milestones in a child's growth. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work and continues to inspire awe among viewers who appreciate both artistry and scientific exploration.
