EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 558. Paraplegia; Partial; Walking, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The print, a collotype on paper measuring 16.7x43 cm, is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. It belongs to Volume VIII of the series dedicated to abnormal movements exhibited by both men and women. In this particular frame, we witness a man with partial paraplegia engaged in an extraordinary act - walking. Despite his disability, he defies expectations as he navigates forward with determination and resilience. His nakedness symbolizes vulnerability while highlighting the raw strength within him. Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing movement through sequential frames revolutionized the field of photography and provided invaluable insights into human locomotion for scientific study. This photograph stands as a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to unraveling the mysteries of motion. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that even in our most challenging moments or physical limitations, there is still beauty found within our own unique journeys towards progress and self-discovery.
