EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 425. Toilet, Putting on Dress and Turning Around" captures a moment of movement frozen in time. Taken by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885, this collotype print is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Measuring at 21.4x38.1 cm, the image showcases a sequential motion picture sequence featuring a woman in various stages of getting dressed. The frames depict her turning around while putting on a dress, providing an intimate glimpse into the Victorian era's toilette rituals. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion pictures. His meticulous study of sequential images allowed him to capture moments that were previously imperceptible to the human eye. The nudity portrayed in this photograph adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the scene while also highlighting societal norms surrounding clothing during that period. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Muybridge's collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its significant contribution to both science and photography as mediums for capturing fleeting moments in time.
