EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 86. Ascending Incline (Wearing Shoes)" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring approximately 22.5x33.3 cm, and is currently housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to women's movements. It showcases a sequential motion picture sequence capturing the ascent of a female figure up an inclined ramp while wearing shoes. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion pictures. His stop-motion technique allowed him to capture multiple frames that when played together created a sense of fluid action. In this mesmerizing shot, we witness the woman gracefully walking upwards on the incline with confidence and poise. Her nudity adds an element of vulnerability but also highlights her natural beauty as she strolls along effortlessly. The photograph not only serves as an artistic study but also contributes to our knowledge of human locomotion and biomechanics. Through his meticulous documentation, Muybridge provided valuable insights into how humans move through space. With its timeless appeal and scientific significance, this stunning print continues to captivate viewers even today.
