EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 312. Heaving a 75-lb Rock, 1885" is a captivating photograph captured by Eadweard Muybridge in the late 19th century. This collotype print, measuring at 38.7x30.6 cm, showcases an early motion picture sequence that revolutionized the world of scientific photography. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate focuses on male subjects in various stages of movement. In this frame, we witness a man displaying his strength as he lifts a hefty rock weighing approximately 75 pounds. The image captures the essence of human strength and determination through its depiction of physical exertion. The subject's nakedness adds vulnerability to the scene, emphasizing the raw power required to accomplish such a feat. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion technique allows us to study each sequential frame with great detail. Through these frames, we gain insight into the mechanics and dynamics of human movement. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific study. It exemplifies Muybridge's dedication to capturing motion in its purest form while contributing invaluable knowledge to fields such as anatomy and physiology. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print continues to inspire awe and admiration for Muybridge's groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences.
