EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sneeze On Film" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically circa 1889. The image showcases a series of multiple frames capturing a momentous event - a man sneezing while holding a handkerchief. As we delve into this historical gem, we are transported to an era when motion pictures were still in their infancy. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its subject matter but also in its technological implications. It is believed that this Edison Kinetoscopic Record represents one of the earliest attempts at capturing movement on film. In an age where photography was predominantly static, this groundbreaking innovation opened doors to new possibilities and paved the way for the birth of cinema as we know it today. As we observe each frame meticulously arranged side by side, we can almost hear the collective gasps from audiences witnessing such a novel spectacle over a century ago. The man's expression frozen mid-sneeze evokes curiosity and amusement simultaneously, reminding us that even mundane everyday actions can hold unexpected beauty when captured through the lens. Preserved with care by Fotosearch/Getty Images, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic treasure and an invaluable historical artifact. It reminds us how far technology has come since those early days while honoring the pioneers who dared to push boundaries and capture life's fleeting moments on film.
