EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 340. Boxing; Open Hand" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this image is featured in Volume V dedicated to men. The subjects depicted are engaged in a fierce boxing match, their bodies captured mid-action as they spar and grapple with each other. The raw intensity of the fight is palpable, as these semi-naked fighters clad only in pelvis cloths demonstrate their skill and determination. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This particular image serves as a testament to his meticulous study of human locomotion, showcasing not only the physicality but also the artistry inherent in boxing. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this composition, emphasizing every muscle flexed during combat. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from over a century ago, we are transported back to an era where pugilism was not just a sport but also an expression of strength, resilience, and primal instinct. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , USA. , this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of conflict and confrontation within the realm of sports
