EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 317. Heaving a 70-lb Rock, 1872-85" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we witness the sheer strength and determination of a man as he carries an immense load on his shoulders. The weighty rock, weighing approximately 70 pounds, appears to challenge the limits of human capability. The man's semi-naked physique showcases his muscularity and highlights the physical demands required for such an arduous task. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully captures every detail with stunning clarity and precision. This scientific study of movement revolutionized early motion picture sequences and became instrumental in understanding locomotion. The subject wears a pelvis cloth or loincloth known as a thong, further emphasizing the raw power emanating from him. Through this photograph, Muybridge invites us to contemplate themes of strength, endurance, and resilience while showcasing the potential within ourselves to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document that continues to inspire generations with its depiction of human prowess amidst adversity.
