EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 49. Walking and Turning Around Rapidly, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a distinguished Victorian gentleman elegantly strolling along with purposeful strides. Clutching a walking stick in one hand and carrying a bag in the other, he exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. His attire, complete with a straw boater hat and tailored suit, reflects the fashion trends of that era. The title suggests that this man is not simply walking but also turning around rapidly. Although we cannot witness his actual motion due to the stillness of the print, Muybridge's innovative stop-motion technique allows us to imagine him gracefully executing this swift maneuver. As viewers, we are transported back in time to experience a slice of life from late 19th-century America. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific documentation tool for studying human locomotion. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , this collotype on paper print offers us an intriguing glimpse into history while showcasing Muybridge's pioneering contributions to early motion picture sequences.
