Title: How to Make Applesauce at MIT
Creator/Contributor: Harold “Doc” Edgerton (1903-1990), photographer
Created/Published:
Date created: 1964
Physical description: photograph
Summary: Doctor Harold Edgerton, a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was a pioneer in stroboscopic photography. In his experiments, Edgerton used strobe lights to capture and “freeze” motion on film, allowing the human eye to see in photographs what was invisible in the physical world. Doc Edgerton, who considered himself more of a scientist than photographer, crafted experiments in photography that revealed the hidden world of motion and action that surrounds us. This photograph is part of the Print Department’s extensive collection of work by regional photographers.
Added to the Boston Public Library’s collection in 1987.
