EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 279. Base-ball; Batting, 1885" is a remarkable piece of art captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases an early motion picture sequence from his groundbreaking work "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. Measuring at 15.9x46.4 cm, this collotype print on paper can be found at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. The photo freezes a moment in time during a baseball game as a male batter swings his bat with precision and intensity. This scientific study beautifully captures movement and action through stop-motion frames. Muybridge's pioneering work revolutionized photography and provided valuable insights into human and animal locomotion for scientific research purposes. His sequential photographs laid the foundation for modern-day motion pictures. In this particular image, we witness not only the sport of baseball but also appreciate Muybridge's artistic eye as he captures both athleticism and grace within one frame. The nudity of the male subject adds vulnerability to his powerful stance while emphasizing the purity of human form in motion. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's genius as well as an important historical document showcasing early sports photography techniques that continue to inspire artists today
