EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 25. Walking, With High-Heeled Shoes On" captures a moment frozen in time from the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the elegant movement of a woman walking with high-heeled shoes. Measuring at 16.7x42.7 cm, this image is an exquisite example of early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography techniques used for scientific study. Muybridge's work revolutionized the understanding of human and animal locomotion, providing valuable insights into movement patterns. In this particular frame, a nude female figure confidently strides forward while wearing high-heeled shoes—a symbol of femininity and grace during that era. The juxtaposition between her exposed body and the delicate footwear creates an intriguing visual contrast. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate not only the technical aspects of early photography but also societal norms surrounding nudity and fashion in the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering spirit in capturing motion through sequential frames. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust—an invaluable addition to their collection. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty without commercial use considerations
