EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 415. Toilet, Preparing to Put on Clothing" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". The print showcases the meticulous collotype technique on paper, measuring 17.3x43.3 cm. Within this frame, we witness a woman in the midst of her morning routine as she prepares to dress herself. Her long hair cascades down her back, held together by an elegant plait. With graceful movements and poise, she stands before us in all her natural beauty. Muybridge's work revolutionized the world of photography and motion studies during the late 19th century. His sequential images paved the way for early motion pictures and provided invaluable insights into human movement. In this particular image, we are offered a glimpse into both personal intimacy and scientific observation simultaneously. The woman's nudity is presented with respect and dignity as it serves as a means to study movement rather than exploit sensuality. As viewers, we are invited to appreciate not only the technical brilliance of Muybridge's photographic skills but also his ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. This remarkable piece resides within the collection of Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, it continues to inspire curiosity about our own physicality while celebrating Muybridge's pioneering contributions to scientific photography.
