EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 142. Descending Stairs, Turning Dress Caught, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, specifically Volume VII which focuses on various subjects draped in clothing. Measuring at 17.5x40.5 cm, this collotype print showcases a woman gracefully descending a flight of stairs while her dress elegantly swirls around her legs. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail and scientific approach to photography is evident in this motion picture sequence. The Victorian-style setting adds an air of nostalgia to the scene as the woman turns mid-descent with her dress caught momentarily by unseen forces. This stop-motion frame beautifully captures movement and showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking contribution to early motion pictures. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection highlights its significance as both a work of art and an important study into sequential movement. Whether you are captivated by scientific photography or simply appreciate the beauty found within moments frozen in time, this mesmerizing print offers a glimpse into history through Muybridge's lens
