EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 438. Setting Down Bucket and Preparing to Scrub, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a woman dressed as a maid or servant in a pristine white dress and apron, her headscarf neatly tied. She stands on a stoop with one hand gently placing down a bucket while preparing to scrub. Her focused expression suggests dedication and meticulousness in her cleaning task. The Victorian style setting adds an air of elegance to the scene, transporting us back to an era where such domestic chores were carried out with utmost precision. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully captures every detail of the woman's attire and surroundings. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insight into scientific studies of motion during that period. It exemplifies Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through stop-motion frames. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is undoubtedly a treasured piece within their collection. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it an exceptional addition for any art enthusiast or lover of early motion picture sequences.
