EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 302. Picking Up A Ball and Throwing It, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, Volume II, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we witness a man in motion as he picks up a ball and prepares to throw it with precision. The photo's composition highlights the fluidity of his movements while showcasing Muybridge's mastery in capturing every intricate detail. Muybridge's collotype print on paper adds depth to the image, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era when early motion picture sequences were still being explored and understood. The subject's nudity is not merely gratuitous but serves as a scientific study of human locomotion. By presenting the male figure without clothing, Muybridge aimed to dissect movement patterns more accurately. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. , this photograph remains an invaluable contribution to both art and science. Its presence within their collection is thanks to the generous gift from Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we contemplate this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder catalogues today; it reminds us how photography can transcend time and offer glimpses
