EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 377. Blacksmith, Two Models, Hammering on Anvil" captures a moment frozen in time from the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the power and strength of two male models engaged in their work. The image portrays a scene filled with motion and action, as the blacksmiths vigorously hammer away on an anvil. Their muscular bodies are highlighted against the backdrop of their workshop, emphasizing their physical prowess and dedication to their craft. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, further enhancing its dramatic effect. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this piece, as he meticulously captured each frame to study movement and sequential motion. This particular plate offers a glimpse into the world of metalworking during that era – a testament to human ingenuity and skill. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on both artistic expression and scientific exploration. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its technical excellence but also in its ability to evoke curiosity about our past while celebrating human achievement.
