EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 350. Fencing, 1872-85" 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 on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume V dedicated to men. The photo measures at a modest size of 21.3x34.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. In this striking composition, two semi-naked men engage in an intense swordfighting duel with their blades clashing mid-air. Their muscular bodies are adorned only with pelvis cloths, adding an element of rawness and vulnerability to the scene. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through as he meticulously captures each frame of movement within this action-packed sequence. Through stop motion techniques, he dissects every thrust, parry, and clash between these skilled fighters. The photograph not only serves as a visual spectacle but also offers valuable insights into the artistry and athleticism involved in fencing during that era. It conveys the spirit of combat while highlighting the gracefulness inherent in such confrontations. With its rich historical significance and artistic excellence, this image stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to early motion picture sequences and his dedication to capturing movement
