EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 327. Rowing, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The print showcases a sequence of images depicting the fluid motion of rowing, showcasing Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Measuring at 19.2x35.7 cm, this collotype on paper is housed within the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It is part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, specifically Volume II dedicated to males. The photograph serves as both a scientific study and an artistic masterpiece. Through stop-motion frames meticulously captured by Muybridge's lens, viewers can witness the sequential movement of a man rowing with incredible detail and precision. The subject depicted in this particular plate is male nudity; however, it should be noted that its purpose lies beyond mere nakedness or sensationalism but rather focuses on capturing human movement for scientific exploration. Merging artistry with science and athleticism with aesthetics, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found within sports but also the power of photography as a medium for studying motion and documenting our world's wonders.
