Muybridge motion study, 1907 C016 / 4564
Muybridge motion study. Series of early photographs showing a nude woman pouring a basin of water over herself. These photographs were obtained by English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) in his pioneering work that began in the 1870s, documenting the motion of animals and humans. His most famous study was of a galloping horse, but he also studied the motions of humans. This series of photographs was published in Muybridges work Animals in motion: an electro-photographic investigation of consecutive phases of muscular actions (1907)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Muybridge motion study, 1907 C016 / 4564" offers a glimpse into the pioneering work of English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge. Known for his groundbreaking studies on animal and human motion, Muybridge's most famous research focused on capturing the galloping horse in action. However, this particular series showcases an early exploration of human movement. In these photographs, we witness a nude woman pouring a basin of water over herself. The images highlight Muybridge's dedication to documenting consecutive phases of muscular actions with high-speed photography techniques. Published in his renowned work "Animals in Motion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation" these prints provide valuable insights into anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. As we delve into this historical piece, it is essential to appreciate the significance of Muybridge's contributions to both scientific research and photographic artistry. His meticulous attention to detail and innovative use of technology revolutionized our understanding of movement. This monochrome albumen print serves as a testament to Muybridge's relentless pursuit of knowledge through experimentation and observation. It reminds us that even in the early 20th century, pioneers like him were pushing boundaries and challenging conventional wisdom. Now preserved by the Library of Congress/Science Photo Library collection, this image invites us to reflect on the intersection between biology and artistry while honoring one man's quest for scientific truth through visual storytelling.
