EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 349. Fencing, 1872-85" captures a mesmerizing sequence of motion and action. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases an early form of motion picture sequence. The image is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. Volume V focuses on men's movements, specifically their pelvis cloth attire during combat. In this particular frame, two semi-naked males engage in a fierce swordfight with intense concentration. The composition highlights the sequential nature of the fight as each movement is frozen in time through stop-motion photography. The clash between these skilled swordsmen is evident as they thrust and parry with precision and agility. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the study of movement and provided valuable insights into human kinetics. This image serves as a testament to his groundbreaking work in capturing sequential actions for scientific purposes. Beyond its scientific significance, this photograph also exudes a sense of drama and tension that draws viewers into the intensity of the duel. It encapsulates not only physical conflict but also themes such as confrontation, battle, sport, and masculinity. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of combat captured through Muybridge's lens.
