EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 229. Placing Basket on the Ground and Turning, 1885" was captured by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is a collotype print measuring 19.7x40.2 cm and is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate showcases the movement of females (semi-nude) and children. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. The photo depicts a woman dressed in an elegant gown with a white hat placed delicately on her head. She stands barefooted as she places a basket on the ground before gracefully turning her body towards it. Her movements are frozen in time through Muybridge's stop-motion technique, creating a mesmerizing sequence that captures every subtle detail. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This particular image exemplifies his meticulous study of movement, providing valuable insights into human locomotion during that era. With its striking composition and timeless beauty, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable scientific document—a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and our understanding of human motion.
