EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 494. Miscellaneous Phases of the Toilet, 1885" captures a moment in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". The print showcases a sequence of frames that depict various stages of a woman's toilette routine. In this particular image, we see a semi-naked woman seated on a chair, engrossed in her dressing ritual. The Victorian-style clothing scattered around her suggests that she is in the process of getting dressed or undressed. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail and scientific approach to photography are evident as he freezes each movement with precision. The collotype printing technique used for this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. As we observe these sequential moments frozen in time, we are reminded of early motion picture sequences and stop-motion animation techniques. Muybridge's work revolutionized the study of movement through photography and laid the foundation for future developments in cinematography. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable scientific document. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. It continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty while offering insights into human motion and behavior over a century ago.
