EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 331. Boxing; Stop for Cross-Buttocks (Shoes)" captures a moment frozen in time during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the artistry and scientific precision that defined his work. In this particular image, two men engage in a fierce boxing match, their bodies captured mid-action. The intensity is palpable as they spar with skillful technique, clad only in pelvis cloths that accentuate their muscular forms. Their faces show determination and focus, while their movements convey power and agility. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion photography allows us to study every frame of this dynamic sequence, revealing the nuances of movement within each punch, hold, throw, grapple, and clinch. It offers a glimpse into the world of pugilism – a sport synonymous with strength and resilience. As we observe these fighters confront each other within the confines of a makeshift ring marked by crates, we are reminded of the raw nature of combat and conflict. This photograph encapsulates not just physical confrontation but also embodies themes such as competition, struggle against adversity, and human resilience. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover Massachusetts since its acquisition from Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection; it serves as an enduring testament to Muybridge's pioneering contribution to
