EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 221. Stooping and Lifting 12 lb basket to Head, 1872-85" is a collotype print by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image measures approximately 21.6x34.3 cm and is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate showcases the movement and action of a female figure in sequential frames. In this frame-by-frame motion picture sequence, we witness a nude woman stooping down to lift a wicker basket weighing twelve pounds onto her head. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the study of movement and captured moments that were previously invisible to the naked eye. This photograph exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail as he freezes each stage of the lifting process. The nudity depicted here serves as an objective representation rather than one intended for eroticism or objectification. It highlights the vulnerability and strength inherent in human physicality while emphasizing the subject's ability to perform physically demanding tasks with grace. As we observe this powerful image frozen in time, we are reminded of Muybridge's significant contributions to both art and science through his pioneering work in stop-motion photography.
