EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 123. Descending Incline, 20-lb Basket on Head, Hands Raised" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-85 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a nude woman gracefully descending an incline while balancing a 20-pound basket on her head. Her hands are raised delicately in the air, adding to the sense of movement and poise captured within this image. The scientific nature of Muybridge's photography is evident here as he meticulously studies human locomotion through sequential frames. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the contours of the woman's body and her determined expression. This photograph not only serves as a study in movement but also explores themes of strength and balance. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's influential contributions to photography and his ability to capture fleeting moments with artistic precision.
