Plate Number 309. Throwing the hammer

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a series of sequential images capturing motion. The photo consists of two rows of images, each depicting a subject in motion from different angles and stages. The frames are in black and white and seem to illustrate the dynamics of a movement like walking. The grid arrangement highlights the continuity and subtle changes in the sequence.
