EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 152. Jumping; Running Straight High Jump (Shoes)", captures a moment frozen in time from the early days of motion picture sequences. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Measuring at 15.9x46.8 cm, this image is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" which was published in 1887. The volume it belongs to focuses specifically on men's movements, with this particular plate highlighting the high jump action. In the photograph, we see a semi-naked male athlete running straight towards us before executing an impressive leap into the air. His athletic prowess is evident as he defies gravity for that split second captured by Muybridge's lens. The subject wears a pelvis cloth or loincloth while performing this feat, emphasizing the focus on movement rather than attire or aesthetics. This scientific approach aligns with Muybridge's intent to study and document human motion through sequential frames. With its historical significance in both photography and sports science, this image serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to capturing movement visually. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past while showcasing athleticism and skill that transcends time.
