EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 26. Walking, Carrying 75-lb stone on Left Shoulder" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases one frame from Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". In this particular image, we witness a strong and muscular man walking with remarkable poise while carrying an impressive 75-pound stone on his left shoulder. The subject's semi-nakedness is accentuated by the pelvis cloth he wears, adding to the raw power emanating from his physique. Muybridge's work revolutionized scientific photography as it aimed to study movement through sequential frames. This early motion picture sequence provides valuable insight into human locomotion and serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. The stark contrast of light and shadow in this photo emphasizes the subject's strength and determination as he strolls confidently forward. His focused gaze suggests unwavering commitment despite the physical strain of his burden. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Muybridge's exploration of motion through stunning visual storytelling. It reminds us of our capacity for resilience and perseverance even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
