EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 92. Ascending Stairs" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 21.1x34.5 cm, and is currently housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to women in motion. It showcases a sequential study of a nude female figure gracefully ascending a flight of stairs. Through stop-motion frames captured meticulously by Muybridge's camera, we witness the fluidity and elegance of movement frozen in time. Muybridge's work revolutionized scientific photography and laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous documentation not only served as an artistic endeavor but also contributed significantly to our understanding of human locomotion. In this mesmerizing photograph, we are invited into an intimate exploration of both form and function as the woman effortlessly climbs each step with poise and gracefulness. The absence of clothing accentuates her body's contours while emphasizing her strength and agility. "Plate 92. Ascending Stairs" is not just an exquisite piece within Muybridge's oeuvre; it represents a pivotal moment in photographic history where art meets science seamlessly, capturing both beauty and knowledge simultaneously through one lens.
