EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 217. Stooping, Lifting and Carrying 30 lb Basket, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a young woman engaged in physical labor as she stoops down to lift a hefty basket filled with hay or straw. Muybridge's collotype print beautifully portrays the sequential movement of this action, providing viewers with a glimpse into early motion picture sequences. This scientific study of animal locomotion is part of his renowned series called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. The photograph evokes a sense of strength and determination as the woman gracefully carries out her task. Her youthful energy is palpable through her focused expression and poised stance. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the subject's form and the weight she bears. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print serves as an important historical document that explores human movement through photography. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. "Plate 217. Stooping, Lifting and Carrying 30 lb Basket" invites us to appreciate not only Muybridge's technical expertise but also celebrates ordinary individuals who have contributed their physical labor throughout history.
