EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 497. Miscellaneous Phases of the Toilet, 1885" captures a moment in time from Eadweard Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". The print measures 20.6x38.1 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. In this particular image, we witness a woman in Victorian attire engaged in various stages of undressing. With meticulous attention to detail, Muybridge freezes each step of her toilette process through stop motion frames. This scientific study showcases movement and sequential action like an early motion picture sequence. The woman's delicate figure is adorned with corsets and undergarments that were characteristic of the Victorian era fashion. As she gradually removes her clothes, we are transported back in time to an intimate moment behind closed doors. Muybridge's groundbreaking work revolutionized photography as a tool for scientific observation and analysis. His exploration into capturing human locomotion paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. This mesmerizing print offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously highlighting the beauty found within everyday actions such as dressing or undressing oneself. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery of his craft and his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself.
