EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 72. Running, Leading Child (70) in Hand, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is a collotype print on paper measuring 17.6x41.6 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate showcases the movement of females (semi-nude) and children. In this frame, we witness a woman leading a child while both are captured mid-run, their hands clasped tightly together. The scientific nature of Muybridge's work becomes evident as he meticulously studies motion through sequential frames. This early motion picture sequence predates modern cinema but serves as an important precursor to it. The composition exudes energy and dynamism with its depiction of action and movement. The diaphanous white dress worn by the woman adds an ethereal quality to the scene while emphasizing her nudity beneath its sheer fabric. Muybridge's ability to freeze moments like these allows us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday actions such as running or holding hands. Through his lens, he transforms ordinary gestures into extraordinary visual experiences that continue to captivate viewers even today.
