EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 286. Base-ball; Throwing, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The print, a collotype on paper measuring 24.8x28.6 cm, is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Each frame meticulously captures the movement and action of a male figure throwing a baseball with remarkable precision. The scientific nature of Muybridge's photography shines through as he studies human movement in sequential frames. In this particular plate, we witness the nakedness of the male subject as he demonstrates his athletic prowess through an elegant throw. Muybridge's contribution to both art and science cannot be overstated. His innovative stop-motion technique paved the way for future advancements in photography and cinematography alike. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its significance as a testament to human achievement and our eternal fascination with capturing moments that would otherwise slip away into oblivion.
