EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 111. Ascending Ladder" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular print, we witness a male figure courageously climbing an ascending ladder with remarkable precision. Muybridge's stop-motion technique allows us to observe each individual frame in this early motion picture sequence, providing valuable insights into the mechanics of human locomotion. The stark contrast between light and shadow accentuates the man's nakedness as he undertakes this physical challenge. His nudity serves not only as a scientific study but also symbolizes vulnerability and raw human strength in its purest form. Measuring at approximately 17.9x39.9 cm, this collotype on paper print is housed within the esteemed Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's pioneering work continues to inspire photographers and scientists alike, bridging artistry with scientific exploration while capturing fleeting moments frozen in time for eternity.
