EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time from the early days of motion picture sequences. Titled "Plate 277. Base-ball; Batting, 1885" this collotype print by Eadweard Muybridge showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image measures 20x35.6 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA. It belongs to Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we see a male batsman mid-swing, capturing the essence of movement and action that defines baseball as a sport. The subject appears nude, emphasizing the focus on athleticism and form rather than personal identity. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement through sequential frames. His stop-motion technique allowed for detailed study and analysis of various subjects' motions. This photograph not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights Muybridge's artistic vision and technical prowess. Its inclusion in the collection is thanks to the generous gift from the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to a time when sports photography was still in its infancy yet already pushing boundaries both scientifically and artistically.
