Plate Number 37. Walking; left hand holding dress, right hand at face 1887

Eadweard Muybridge's "Plate Number 37. Walking; left hand holding dress, right hand at face" (1887) is a seminal work in the development of photography and motion studies. This photo-series captures a woman walking in a long dress, her movements broken down into a sequence of twenty-four individual frames. Muybridge's innovative use of multiple cameras allowed him to capture the precise details of human locomotion, revealing previously unseen nuances of movement and challenging the limitations of traditional photographic representation. His work paved the way for the invention of motion pictures and continues to fascinate audiences with its scientific and artistic significance.
