EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 166. Jumping; Over Mans Back (Leap Frog), 1885" captures a moment of playful movement frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. The image depicts a young man leaping over another man's back in a game of leapfrog. The dynamic action and sense of energy are palpable as the jumper defies gravity with an impressive leap. Muybridge's meticulous study of animal locomotion is evident here, as he applies his scientific approach to human movement. This photograph is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. It serves as an early precursor to motion pictures, offering viewers a glimpse into the possibilities of capturing movement on film. The composition highlights the athleticism and youthful spirit inherent in games such as leapfrog. It evokes feelings of joy, camaraderie, and boundless energy that transcend time. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and science. Its inclusion within their collection speaks to its significance within the realm of fine art. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us all to appreciate – reminding us that even simple childhood games can be transformed into works of art when captured through the lens with skillful precision.
