EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 507. Carpentering, 1872-85" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Measuring at 24.1x30.3 cm, this collotype print is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. The image showcases a man engaged in carpentry work, his muscular frame partially covered by a pelvis cloth or loincloth. The intense focus on his laborious task is evident as he skillfully works with wood on a sturdy workbench. This photograph not only serves as an early motion picture sequence but also highlights the scientific nature of Muybridge's photography. Muybridge's innovative stop-motion technique allowed for the study of movement through sequential frames, making him a pioneer in both photography and science. In this particular plate, he captures the essence of carpentry and woodworking with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from over a century ago, we are transported to an era where craftsmanship was revered and manual labor was celebrated. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to shape raw materials into functional objects. This print offers us an intimate glimpse into history while reminding us of the timeless beauty found within everyday tasks performed by skilled artisans like carpenters.
