EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 290. Cricket; Over Arm Bowling, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular print, we witness a remarkable early motion picture sequence showcasing the art of overarm bowling in cricket. The photo's monochromatic tones add an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene, highlighting the scientific nature of Muybridge's work. The composition focuses on a male figure captured mid-action as he bowls with precision and skill. His nudity adds an intriguing element to the image, emphasizing both vulnerability and strength within the context of sport. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident through each frame presented in this sequential study. As viewers explore this photographic gem, they are transported back to a time when capturing movement was still considered groundbreaking. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype on paper print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and science alike. It stands as a timeless reminder that even simple actions like throwing a ball can be transformed into works of art when seen through the lens of innovation and creativity.
