EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 218. Stooping, and Lifting Full Demijohn to Shoulder, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases an intriguing sequence of motion as a nude male figure stoops down to lift a full demijohn onto his shoulder. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this collotype print on paper offers a scientific study of movement through sequential frames. It serves as an early precursor to motion pictures and stop-motion animation techniques that would revolutionize visual storytelling in the years to come. The composition is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing the contours of the man's body. The wicker bottle he carries creates texture within the frame, enhancing its overall visual appeal. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this artwork is part of their collection thanks to a generous gift from the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution to scientific photography. As we gaze upon this striking photograph today, we are reminded of Muybridge's pioneering spirit and his relentless pursuit of capturing movement through still images. This timeless piece continues to inspire us with its beauty and technical innovation even after more than a century since its creation.
