Description:
A duplicate from the Eastman Historical Collection; wet
stamped verso as such. The shutter interval is indicated as .161 second. An unusual Animal Locomotion
study that exhibits a sort of abstract symmetry, rather
than merely a range of movement. Between 1884-5
Muybridge took more than 20,000 photographs of men,
women, children, animals and birds in almost every
conceivable type of movement. He was now able to
take advantage of the new dry plates which produced
toned photographs of much clearer definition.
Muybridge added the device of a motor clock which
permitted three different views of the same scene to be
taken at the same time. The results were published in a
monumental work of 781 folio sized plates entitled
"Animal Locomotion" (1887). It is the most
comprehensive analysis of movement ever undertaken
and is still used widely today as a source of illustration
and for reference. Keywords: abstraction
