EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 51. Walking, and Turning Around, Using Sprinkling Pot" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872-85, this collotype print showcases the early beginnings of motion picture sequences. The image features a nude female figure gracefully walking while turning around, holding a sprinkling pot. The woman's movements are beautifully captured through Muybridge's scientific approach to photography. Each frame meticulously depicts her sequential steps as she walks and turns with fluidity. Muybridge's groundbreaking work revolutionized the study of movement and became an essential tool for scientists and artists alike. This particular plate from his collection focuses on women in motion, offering an intriguing glimpse into their physical capabilities. In this striking composition, water droplets can be seen cascading from the sprinkling pot held by the woman. The playfulness of these droplets adds an element of whimsy to the otherwise scientific nature of the photograph. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. It is part of a larger volume called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers across generations.
