EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 93. Ascending Stairs" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring approximately 22.5x35.9 cm, and is part of the collection at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. The photograph belongs to Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. This particular plate features a sequence capturing the movement of a nude female figure ascending stairs. It exemplifies Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of human and animal locomotion, providing valuable insights into movement patterns that were previously unknown or misunderstood. His meticulous study involved capturing multiple frames to create sequential images that revealed subtle nuances in motion. In this striking composition, we witness the graceful ascent of a woman as she navigates each step with poise and elegance. The absence of clothing accentuates her form while emphasizing the purity of movement captured by Muybridge's lens. This historic photograph not only showcases artistic beauty but also serves as an important scientific document that continues to inspire contemporary photographers today. Its inclusion within the Addison Gallery's collection highlights its significance as a testament to both artistry and scientific exploration during this transformative period in photographic history.
