EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 345. Wrestling, Lock, 1885" captures a moment of intense physicality frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 17.3x44.3 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. The photo features two men engaged in a wrestling match, their bodies intertwined as they grapple for dominance. The raw power and athleticism displayed by these fighters are palpable through each frame captured by Muybridge's lens. Their nakedness adds an element of vulnerability to the scene while emphasizing the primal nature of combat. This photograph serves not only as a stunning visual composition but also as a scientific study on movement and sequential action. It highlights Muybridge's dedication to capturing human motion with precision and accuracy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to a time when photography was still evolving into what it is today—a medium capable of freezing moments that would otherwise be lost to memory or forgotten entirely. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the technical mastery behind its creation and the timeless beauty inherent in human physicality and expression.
