EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 106. Turning to Ascend Stairs, Bucket of Water in Each Hand" captures a remarkable moment frozen in time. Taken by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women. It portrays a nude woman gracefully turning while ascending stairs, defying gravity with a bucket of water held securely in each hand. The artist's meticulous stop-motion technique allows us to witness the fluidity and beauty of movement that would otherwise be imperceptible to the naked eye. Muybridge's scientific approach revolutionized photography as he sought to capture motion through sequential frames. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a study of human movement, highlighting the strength and balance required for such an act. The contrast between the stark black background and the woman's nude form creates a striking visual impact that draws viewers into her world momentarily suspended in time. Through this image, we are invited to contemplate themes of vulnerability, power, and femininity. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , this print is part of their collection thanks to the generous gift from Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their walls ensures its preservation for generations to come so that future audiences can marvel at Muy
