EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 344. Striking a Blow (Right Hand), 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image, printed using the collotype technique on paper, measures 17.2x43.8 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 particular plate belongs to Volume II dedicated to male subjects in various states of motion. With its scientific approach and sequential frames, this collection marked an early milestone in capturing movement through photography. The subject depicted here is a bald man with a shaved head, his muscular physique exposed as he delivers a powerful punch with his right hand. The intensity of the action is palpable as we witness the thrusting force behind his strike. Muybridge's meticulous study of human locomotion not only contributed to advancements in scientific understanding but also laid the foundation for future developments in cinematography and animation techniques. This print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work and showcases his ability to freeze moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Through this striking image, viewers are invited into an intimate exploration of movement and physicality while marveling at Muybridge's mastery behind the lens.
