EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 201. Taking 12-lb Basket from Head, Putting it on the Ground" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential frames. In this particular image, we witness a female figure walking gracefully while carrying a heavy load on her head - a twelve-pound basket. The woman stoops down to gently place the burden on the ground with remarkable poise and balance. Her nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition, emphasizing both her physical strength and her connection to nature. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this study of movement. By meticulously capturing each frame of action, he provides us with an intimate glimpse into human locomotion that was previously unseen. This early motion picture sequence predates modern cinema but serves as its precursor, laying the foundation for future developments in film technology. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, this print offers viewers a unique opportunity to appreciate Muybridge's artistic vision and technical expertise. It reminds us of our ability as humans to overcome challenges through gracefulness and determination while highlighting the beauty found within everyday actions like walking or carrying loads.
