EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 306. Picking up a Ball and Throwing It, 1885" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 20.2x38.6 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 particular plate showcases females (semi-nude) and children engaged in various movements. In this specific frame, we see a woman dressed in an elegant white gown gracefully picking up a ball with her delicate hands before launching it into the air with precision. The composition exudes both gracefulness and strength as the woman's long hair flows behind her while she executes the throw. The classical undertones are evident through her Grecian attire, adding an element of timeless beauty to the image. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through as he meticulously captures each stage of movement within his sequential frames. This early motion picture sequence provides valuable insight into human locomotion during that era. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured over a century ago, let your imagination transport you back to that precise moment when elegance met athleticism—a testament to Muybridge's mastery behind the lens.
