EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 164. Jumping; Pole Vaulting, 1872-85" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". The print, measuring 17x45.7 cm, is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Muybridge's collotype on paper showcases his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. This particular plate focuses on the athletic prowess of a male figure engaged in pole vaulting. With meticulous precision and scientific intent, Muybridge presents a sequential study of movement that reveals the intricate mechanics behind this dynamic sport. The image features a nude male athlete suspended mid-air as he defies gravity with remarkable agility and strength. His body arcs gracefully over the bar while his focused expression reflects determination and concentration. Through this composition, Muybridge not only captures an awe-inspiring athletic feat but also explores themes of human physicality and achievement. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back to a time when capturing motion was still an emerging art form. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's innovative spirit and his significant contributions to both photography and science. With its timeless appeal and artistic merit, this striking print continues to captivate viewers today by showcasing the beauty found within the intersection of athleticism, artistry, and scientific inquiry.
