EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 197. Dancing Waltz, Two Models, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print showcases his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image is Volume VII featuring males and females draped and miscellaneous subjects. The photograph measures 28.1x26.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. In this particular frame, we witness two dancers gracefully waltzing across the floor with synchronized movements that exude elegance and poise. The man leads confidently while the woman follows his lead with gracefulness that can only be achieved through years of practice. The composition beautifully captures their fluid motions as they glide effortlessly together as dance partners. Their connection is palpable as they move harmoniously to the rhythm of an unseen melody. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through in this study of movement and sequential frames. Through stop-motion techniques, he was able to dissect human locomotion into its individual components for further analysis. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured over a century ago, it serves as a testament to both Muybridge's pioneering spirit and the timeless beauty found within the world of dance.
