Plate Number 185. Hopping on left foot 1887

Eadweard Muybridge's "Plate Number 185. Hopping on left foot" (1887) is a photographic study of human motion. This sequential image, a series of photographs taken in rapid succession, captures the dynamic movements of a woman hopping on her left foot. Muybridge's pioneering work in chronophotography revolutionized the study of movement and paved the way for modern animation and film. The image demonstrates the scientific precision and artistic sensibility of his photographic practice.
