EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 179. Stepping On and Over a Rock, A Basket on Head" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken in 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential frames. In this particular image, we see a woman gracefully navigating her way over a large rock while balancing a basket on her head. Her semi-nude figure is draped in a sarong-like cloth, adding an element of ethereal beauty to the scene. The composition exudes strength and determination as she confidently steps forward with poise. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable study of human locomotion. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of their esteemed collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and serves as a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on the world of photography and science alike.
