EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 84. Ascending Incline, Bucket of Water in Right Hand" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The print is a collotype on paper, measuring 17.8x42.1 cm, and it currently resides in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women's movements. It showcases a sequential motion picture sequence capturing a woman ascending an incline while carrying a bucket of water in her right hand. Muybridge's work revolutionized scientific photography and became instrumental in studying movement and motion analysis during his time. This frame-by-frame stop-motion technique allowed for detailed observation and analysis of human locomotion. In this specific photograph, the female subject gracefully ascends the slope with determination as she carries the weighty pail effortlessly. The nudity adds an artistic element to the composition while highlighting vulnerability and strength simultaneously. The image serves as both a scientific study and an artistic exploration into human kinetics. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to captivate viewers with its seamless blend of science and artistry.
