EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 458. Lifting Handfuls of Hay, Turning, Throwing it Down" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper and measures 19.1x40 cm. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate showcases a young woman engaged in the physical labor of lifting hay. Her long hair flows freely as she skillfully grabs handfuls of straw from a pile, effortlessly turning her body to throw it down with precision. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences and became instrumental in studying movement scientifically through sequential frames. This photograph captures not only the action but also the Victorian style prevalent during that era. The image exudes energy and dynamism as it freezes a fleeting moment in time. It invites viewers to contemplate the intricate movements involved in such everyday tasks while appreciating the beauty found within them. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of an extensive collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and his ability to capture both scientific study and aesthetic appeal simultaneously.
