EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 468. Child, Walking, 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 print, we see a young boy taking his first steps with an air of determination and innocence. His nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and purity as he embarks on this important milestone in life. The collotype technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. Muybridge's meticulous scientific approach is evident in every frame of this motion picture sequence. Each step taken by the child is captured with precision and clarity, showcasing the artist's dedication to capturing movement accurately. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Massachusetts, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's contribution to both art and science. It invites viewers to reflect on childhood development while appreciating the beauty found within simple moments like learning how to walk. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph today, it reminds us that even though technology has advanced since Muybridge's time, there is still immense value in studying human movement through visual mediums such as photography.
