EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 498. Miscellaneous Phases of the Toilet, 1872-85" captures a unique moment in time. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume IV dedicated to women. It offers a scientific study of movement through sequential frames, providing valuable insights into human locomotion. In this specific frame, we see a young woman engaged in various phases of her toilette. She stands beside an elegant chair while undressing, wearing only stockings and socks. Her youthful figure is illuminated against the dark background as she gracefully removes her white dress. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the subtle nuances of each action captured within these frozen moments. The nudity portrayed here serves as an artistic exploration rather than mere voyeurism; it symbolizes vulnerability and natural beauty. Displayed 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. Its presence within their collection highlights its significance not only as a historical artifact but also as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and motion studies.
