EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 105. Turning, Ascending Stairs, Water Jar on Left Shoulder" is a remarkable piece of early motion picture sequence captured by Eadweard Muybridge in 1885. The image showcases a semi-nude woman gracefully ascending the stairs while carrying a water jar on her left shoulder. Muybridge's groundbreaking work in animal locomotion revolutionized the field of scientific photography and provided valuable insights into movement and sequential action. This particular print is from his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. The composition beautifully captures the fluidity of the woman's movements as she walks with elegance and poise. Her flowing skirt wraps around her body, adding an element of grace to her stroll. The water jar balanced effortlessly on her shoulder symbolizes strength and resilience. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this collotype print measures 24.8x31.1 cm and serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery in capturing motion through still images. As we admire this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration merged seamlessly with artistic expression. It reminds us that even everyday actions can be transformed into works of art when observed through the lens of innovation and creativity.
