EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 548. Lateral Sclerosis; A, B, Walking" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented 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 print, we see a man bravely defying his physical limitations as he walks with the aid of crutches. His nakedness serves as a powerful symbol of vulnerability and resilience in the face of disability. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness each step taken by the subject, creating an early motion picture sequence that predates cinema itself. The scientific nature of this photograph is evident in its purposeful documentation of abnormal movements caused by lateral sclerosis. It serves as both a study tool for medical professionals and an artistic exploration into human locomotion. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this collotype on paper print measures 22.2x32.1 cm and was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Through Muybridge's lens, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also our capacity to overcome adversity with grace and determination. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate themes such as disability, movement, and the beauty found within our own vulnerabilities.
