EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 333. Boxing; 53 Knocking 52 Down (Shoes), 1872-85" captures a moment of intense action and movement. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this image belongs to Volume V dedicated to men's movements. In this particular frame, two male figures engage in a fierce boxing match, their bodies partially covered by pelvis cloths or loincloths. The photograph freezes the split second when boxer number 53 delivers a powerful punch that knocks down his opponent numbered as 52. The dynamic composition and sharp details highlight the raw energy and physicality of the sport of boxing. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable study tool for scientists interested in human locomotion. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, this print is part of Edwin J. Beinecke Trust's generous gift collection. Its presence within these walls allows visitors to appreciate not only Muybridge's technical prowess but also delve into the history and significance behind early sports photography. Overall, Plate 333 invites viewers to witness a moment frozen in time—a clash between
