Plate Number 292. Cricket, batting and back cut

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a sequential series with a person swinging a cricket bat. The image shows multiple frames arranged in two rows, capturing the movement and actions of the subject holding a cricket bat in various stages of swinging. Each frame displays the progression of the swing from different angles and positions. The background includes a grid-like pattern and a set of stumps, suggesting a cricket scenario. The images seem to be part of a study on human movement in sports for educational or scientific purposes.
