EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 283. Base-ball; Catching and Throwing, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time during the early days of motion picture sequence experimentation. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Measuring at 25.4x30.8 cm, this image is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. The volume depicted here focuses on male subjects in various states of undress to highlight the intricate movements involved in sports and everyday activities. In this particular frame, we witness a man engaged in an intense game of baseball as he skillfully catches and throws the ball with precision and agility. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the dynamic nature of the sport. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement through sequential imagery. This photograph serves as a testament to his meticulous study of human motion, capturing every nuance with remarkable detail. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection further solidifies its significance within both artistic and scientific realms. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when photography merged
