EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 540. A, Bow Legs; Boy; B, Spinal Caries; Girl Walking" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to capture motion through a sequence of photographs. In this particular print, we see a young boy with bow legs and a girl walking. The children's movements are frozen in time, allowing us to study their gait and observe any abnormalities or disabilities they may have. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the way we understand movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. The stark contrast of the black and white tones adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the details of each child's body language as they stroll along. Despite their physical differences, there is an undeniable sense of innocence and curiosity captured in their expressions. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this collotype on paper print measures 16x45.4 cm. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic vision and his contribution to both photography and scientific studies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it reminds us that even within moments frozen in time lies a story waiting to be discovered – one that speaks volumes about human diversity, resilience, and our unyielding pursuit for knowledge.
