EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 301. Foot-ball; Punt, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print measures 17.5x45.2 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this image showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. The photograph features a male figure kicking a football with precision and strength. His nude form adds an element of vulnerability to the composition while emphasizing the pure athleticism required for this sport. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and sequential action. Each frame within this sequence provides valuable insight into the mechanics of human locomotion during sporting activities like football or soccer. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that draws viewers into the dynamic scene. This timeless image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable study tool for those interested in sports science or photography. Gifted to the Addison Gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, this print continues to inspire awe with its ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential photographers.
