EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 289. Cricket; Round Arm Bowling, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time during a cricket match. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885, this collotype print showcases his pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential frames. The image is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, specifically Volume II dedicated to males. This scientific study aimed to understand movement and capture it with precision through stop-motion photography. In this particular frame, we see a man demonstrating round arm bowling technique while playing cricket. The nakedness of the male figure adds an artistic element to the composition as it emphasizes the focus on movement rather than individual identity. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the fluidity and grace of this athletic action within a single frame. The intensity and concentration on the bowler's face are palpable as he prepares for his delivery. This photograph not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights Muybridge's significant contribution to early motion picture sequences and scientific photography. It invites viewers into a world where art meets science, offering us glimpses into moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
