EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 34. Walking, 15-lb. Basket on Head, Hands Raised" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper measuring approximately 17.5x41.9 cm. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate showcases the movement and agility of a woman walking with a 15-pound basket balanced gracefully on her head. Her hands are raised in an elegant pose, adding to the sense of poise and control she displays. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences through his use of stop-motion photography to capture sequential frames of human and animal locomotion. His scientific approach to photography allowed for detailed studies of movement that were previously unseen. In this specific image, Muybridge captures not only the physicality but also the vulnerability inherent in nudity as he depicts a female figure carrying a heavy load with apparent ease. The photograph serves as both an artistic study and a testament to human strength and resilience. Currently housed 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. With its striking composition and historical significance within scientific photography, this image continues to inspire awe over a century after its creation.
