EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 281. Base-ball; Catching and Throwing, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The collotype print measures 16.8x43 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. With meticulous attention to detail, Muybridge meticulously captured the sequential movements of a male figure engaged in a game of baseball. The subject's nudity adds an intriguing element to this scientific study of movement. Stripped down to his bare essence, he demonstrates both grace and athleticism as he catches and throws the baseball with precision. Muybridge's photographs revolutionized our understanding of motion by breaking it down into individual frames. His work laid the foundation for modern cinematography and influenced countless artists across various mediums. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from history, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its significant contribution to scientific exploration. This photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's genius and his lasting impact on photography as well as our understanding of human movement.
