EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 276. Base-ball; Batting, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Measuring at 20.3x36 cm, this collotype print showcases the early motion picture sequence that revolutionized the world of photography. In this particular frame, we witness a male figure engaged in the intense sport of baseball. The nude athlete stands confidently with his baseball bat raised high above his head, ready to strike with precision and power. The absence of clothing emphasizes the rawness and vulnerability of human movement. Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing sequential movement is evident in every detail of this image. Each frame meticulously documents the batter's fluid motion as he prepares for impact. This photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication to studying human locomotion through photography. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of an extensive collection gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It not only showcases Muybridge's artistic prowess but also highlights his significant contribution to both science and art. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, let yourself be transported back in time to witness one man's powerful swing frozen forever on paper—a true masterpiece that continues to inspire awe and admiration for its technical brilliance and artistic vision.
