Plate Number 248. Sitting down on the ground 1887

This is a photographic sequence by Eadweard Muybridge titled "Plate Number 248. Sitting down on the ground." It is a series of 36 still images captured in 1887 to show the movement of a woman as she sits down. Muybridge was a pioneer of photographic studies of motion, and his work was essential in advancing the understanding of human and animal locomotion. This series, like many of Muybridge's, captures the human form in a way that was previously unimaginable, revealing the intricacies of movement in unprecedented detail.
