EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 230. Lifting 30 lb Basket from Ground to Head, Turning, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a young woman engaged in a physical task that requires strength and balance. In this scientific study of animal locomotion, Muybridge meticulously documented various movements through stop-motion photography. This particular frame is part of his groundbreaking work known as "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. The photograph depicts the woman stooping down to lift a 30-pound basket filled with hay or straw from the ground up onto her head. With grace and determination, she balances the weight on her head while turning her body. It is an impressive display of physical prowess and control. Muybridge's collotype print beautifully captures every detail of this sequential action, allowing viewers to appreciate both the fluidity of movement and the strength required for such tasks. The monochromatic tones enhance the timeless quality of this early motion picture sequence. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this photograph serves as an important historical document within the realm of scientific photography. It offers us a glimpse into Muybridge's pioneering exploration of capturing motion through sequential frames—an art form that would eventually pave the way for modern cinema.
