EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 251. Kneeling on Left Knee, Basket in Left Hand, and Rising" captures a moment of graceful movement frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885 as part of his groundbreaking project "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential photography. In this particular frame from Volume IV dedicated to women, we see a nude female figure kneeling on her left knee with a basket held delicately in her left hand. The composition exudes elegance and poise as she rises gracefully from her kneeling position. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous study of sequential frames allowed him to capture moments that were previously invisible to the naked eye. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is a testament to Muybridge's contribution to both art and science. It serves as a reminder of the power that photography holds in capturing fleeting moments and revealing hidden aspects of human motion. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of photographic history for us all to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
