This photograph, titled "Plate 273. Base-ball; Pitching, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time during the early days of motion picture sequences. Taken by Eadweard Muybridge, a renowned English photographer and pioneer in the field of sequential photography, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Measuring at 25.6x29.4 cm, this image is part of Muybridge's iconic series called "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In Volume I specifically dedicated to males (nude), Plate 273 stands out as an intriguing study of movement and action. The photograph features a young man with clean-shaven face standing naked against a grid backdrop. His youthful physique is highlighted as he prepares to throw a baseball with precision and strength. The intense focus on his pitch reveals the dedication and skill required in the sport. Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing motion through stop-motion frames revolutionized photography and influenced future developments in cinematography. This particular image serves as both an artistic composition and an invaluable historical document depicting early sports culture. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection further emphasizes its significance within American art history.
