EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 113. Descending Incline, 1 in 4,1872-85" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a man gracefully descending a steep incline with an inclination of one in four. The sequential nature of the photo allows us to study the movement and action involved in walking down such a slope. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through as he meticulously captures each frame to create an early motion picture sequence. The male subject featured here walks confidently and naturally, his nudity adding an element of vulnerability and rawness to the scene. As he strolls down the ramp with ease, we are reminded of both our own physicality and our connection to nature. This collotype print on paper measures approximately 16x42.7 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's work continues to captivate viewers today with its blend of artistry and scientific exploration. This photograph serves as a testament to his pioneering contributions to early motion pictures and remains an important piece within the realm of photographic history.
