When A Woman Descends The Stairs
12 October 2020
Here's another series of photographs by Eadward Muybridge, he of the early series of horses at gallop, showing that all four hooves are off the ground simultaneously, weirdly spelled name and huge beard. After he had done that, winning a bet for Leland Stanford, he toured for several years with exhibits of photographs meant to show off movement, composition, and usually the naked human body, as here. By assembling these and playing them in order, you can actually get a snippet of a moving picture.... and a look at a naked woman.
