Marey's chronophotographs attempted to bring together in a single image information on movement, distance and time. In this respect, Marey's work is dramatically more complex and scientific than his contemporary Muybridge, whose interests tended to be purely in physical movement. Marey's images were sources for many later artists, including Bragaglia and Duchamp, as well as for the development of motion pictures.
This image of the boxer is believed to be extremely rare as no negative or print is known to exist. It was included in the series with the famous "fencer" made by Marey and his assistant, Georges Demeny. The dark loose jumpsuit and fitted shoes worn by the boxer were frequently used by Marey and the small globe he holds records minute increments of movement.
