Muybridge, Eadweard Movements, Female, Toilet; Preparing to Put on Clothing. 1884–85. Collotype, printed in 1887. Plate 415 from *Animal Locomotion*, vol. IV, *Women (Nude)*. 17 x 43 cm (sheet 35 x 49.5 cm). Printed below the image with a copyright notice, title, and plate number. Part of the “Women (Nude)” section of *Animal Locomotion*, this plate captures an everyday action through a sequence of timed exposures. Its measured progression transforms a conventional figure study into a precise analysis of bodily movement, demonstrating the productive tension between Muybridge’s scientific method and the work’s enduring visual power. Another print is in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. – Margins cropped, water stain in the upper left corner, traces of previous mounting on the reverse, reverse with heavier toning; otherwise, the image is in very good condition.
