EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 31. Walking, Carrying 75-lb stone on Right Shoulder" is a remarkable piece of art captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image belongs to his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular print, we witness a powerful display of strength and endurance as a muscular man carries an impressive 75-pound stone on his right shoulder. The subject's semi-nakedness adds to the raw intensity of the scene, highlighting every sinewy muscle in his body. Muybridge's collotype technique freezes each moment of motion into separate frames, creating an early motion picture sequence that revolutionized scientific photography. This study of movement not only captures the physicality and gracefulness of human locomotion but also serves as a valuable resource for scientific research. The photograph showcases both the beauty and functionality of the human body while emphasizing themes such as strength, determination, and resilience. As we observe this man confidently strolling forward with his burdened shoulder underlined by a loincloth or pelvis cloth, we are reminded of our own capabilities and potential for overcoming challenges. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this print continues to inspire viewers with its timeless depiction of human power in action.
