EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 121. Descending Incline, Bucket of Water in Each Hand" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print measuring approximately 20.8x35.7 cm and is currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to women in motion. It showcases a sequence capturing a woman walking down an inclined slope while carrying a bucket of water in each hand. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences and became instrumental in scientific studies on movement and sequential photography. This mesmerizing photo freezes time, allowing us to witness the fluidity of human locomotion step by step. The female subject's nudity adds an artistic element to the composition, emphasizing her vulnerability as she gracefully navigates the descent with poise and balance. Her stroll becomes both an act of physical exertion and a display of feminine strength. Through his meticulous documentation, Muybridge invites viewers into a world where science meets artistry, offering us glimpses into moments that would otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten. This photograph serves as a testament to his pioneering spirit and enduring legacy within the realm of photography.
