- Description:
- Looking slightly down onto the splash from a drop of milk. The splash looks like a coronet, it is round and has evenly spaced "pearls" on raised stalks. The coronet is on a milk-covered base which reflects the splash, its shadow can also be seen to the right. Suspended above the splash at the top of the frame is a perfectly round drop of milk starkly white against the deep black of the background.
- Notes:
- Matted gelatin silver print, one of a dozen motion study photographs by Edgerton held at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum.
