EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 57. Walking Turning Around, 10-lb basket on Head, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a woman gracefully walking with a heavy wicker basket balanced effortlessly on her head. Muybridge's collotype print from 1885 is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion". This scientific study aimed to capture movement through sequential frames, resembling an early motion picture sequence. In this particular plate, the focus lies on the intricate action of turning while carrying a load. The woman in the photograph exudes strength and poise as she navigates her surroundings. Her long hair flows freely behind her as she walks through lush grass and plants. The weight of the basket seems inconsequential to her confident stride. This image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable scientific document. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to study not only human locomotion but also cultural practices such as head carrying that were prevalent during that era. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, this print is undoubtedly an invaluable addition to their collection. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing Muybridge's pioneering work in photography and motion studies.
