EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 80. Ascending Incline" is a collotype print created by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image belongs to his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" and is part of Volume III, dedicated to women in motion. Measuring at 21x35.1 cm, this scientific study captures a sequence of frames showcasing the movement of a nude female figure ascending an incline. Muybridge's stop-motion technique allows us to witness each step she takes as she carries a basket on her head. The photograph not only serves as an early example of motion picture sequences but also highlights Muybridge's contribution to the field of photography as a scientific tool for studying movement. His work revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for future developments in cinematography. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its display invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic composition and its scientific significance within Muybridge's larger body of work. With its striking depiction of nakedness juxtaposed with physical exertion, "Plate 80. Ascending Incline" remains an enduring testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions in capturing motion through sequential photography techniques.
